Re: can not create folder called scripts anymore

Unfortunately it didn't work either.

But I found something very interesting when I ran sysinternals
rootkitrevealer. There are already scripts folder everywhere..but they are
"hidden from windows API".

I can access them when I map c$ from another box.
Something in windows itself seems to hide and block everything called
"scripts".
Do you have any ideas how to set up something that works even in "saved
mode" and prevents the creation of objects with a certain name?

I will try and put a new HDD into the box over the weekend and see what
happens.

Sorry, I have run out of ideas. Use folder names other than
scripts, and check the Event Viewer.

I tried to create a folder called scripts on a mapped share on another
system
==> that works.
I tried to create on \\problembox\c$ a folder called scripts ==> I get
the
same error.

scripts is not listed as a reserved word:

I got the LPT1 folder but no script folder...

I have no idea...

Why does two different disks, with different partitions have the same
NTFS
issue?

I can think of two reasons why this might happen:

a) There is a problem with your file system. If so then you should
still be able to create a "scripts" folder on some networked
drive.

b) There is a problem with Windows. If so then you should be
able to create a "scripts" folder while working on a different
machine like so:
net use Q: \\ProblemServer\TestShare
md Q:\Test\Scripts

You must, of course, start by creating the TestShare.

You should also determine if "scripts" has turned into a reserved
word. You can do it like so from a Command Prompt:

md \\.\c:\scripts and
md \\.\c:\LPT1

If you type the commands correctly then you will get at least
a folder called "c:\LPT1", and perhaps also "c:\scripts".

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.
