Re: can not create folder called scripts anymore

Thank you for your quick answer.

I tried to create a folder with the md command but I got the same result as
with mkdir. I don't get any error messages but the folder is not there if you
check with either windows explorer or dos command "dir".

I also tried to create the folder after rebooting into safe
mode.Unfortunately I got the same results.

You can start a Command Prompt, then use this command:

md "c:\script"{Enter}
or even better
md "c:\Friday\Script"{Enter}

The advantage of Safe Mode is that it only loads the
programs that are part of your basic Windows configuration.
If you have some malicious code on your machine then
it probably will not load in Safe Mode.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to create a directory via windows Explorer ==> right click and
mkdir.
Both doesn't work unfortunately.

It is a production server why I can't reboot it into save mode now. Which
difference does it make for the folder/file creation. Are there other ways
to
create a directory I could try?

Thanks

Hello,

Since two days I realised on my windows 2000 server that every folder
called
"scripts" is disappeared and when I try to create a file or folder
called
"scripts", doesn't matter in which directory, I get the following error
message:

Cannot rename New Folder: A file with the name you specified already
exists.
Specify a different filename.

I did a search in the registry for "scripts", I killed every unknown
process, I disabled every unimportant service, I searched for alternate
NTFS
Streams, hidden files, Viruses and Trojans... no success..

I still can not create a file or folder called "scripts". I can create
"skripts, "script" e.g. but no "scripts".

I am really grateful for any suggestions.

There are several ways to create a new folder. You should
report which method you used.

You should also try the same thing while in Safe Mode.
