After just finally resolving a recent hard drive failure (my D: drive
unit) I
found that I am no longer able to create new folders in Explorer. In
Classic
view option, there is no 'NEW' option in the menu system that allows
this.
In the standard view option, 'Create folder' although present, does not
function. Is there a way to correct this, or install a new copy of
explorer?
My computer (XP Media 2005 edition) is a stand alone system, with several
family member user logons, where this inability to create folders is
present
with all users including the administrator logon. Explorer does allow
copy,
move and delete (file or folder) , it just won't allow creating a new
folder.
User permissions do not seem to be the problem here.


Can you use System Restore?


No - all of the restore pointes are lost - I believe this happen when I used
the hard drive software to transfer my files and O/S files to the new hard
drive.
