  Shane my jaw just hit the keyboard,, how are you at fixing jaws ?
You fixed it, everything is back, new folder,shortcut, contact,briefcase, compressed zip,,,,,,its all back.
You not only fixed it but taught me a bag full of things I never even heard off.
Your understanding of people that are not conversant with pc workings is outstanding.
Thank you so much as there is no way I could have had my computer fixed or replaced.

Thanks Boggin, I tried using the command prompt but now I have to find out how to make my pc realise I am the admin. When I work it out and rediscover where I found the command prompt I will get back to you with the results,,, ta for your time, Im grateful.
Dont laugh,,,I saved a bunch of new folders to a stick drive on my other pc (laptop) and downloaded them to the main pc,,,,,,,,it actually worked 
Not ideal,, but has got me a bit further with what I need to do

Hi Shane,
Thanks for the help. I did as you suggested but to no avail. Then I did it again just to make sure I did it right. Still no joy.
Ive just noticed that I not only the New folder option is gone but all the other options too,, open new zip file, brief case etc, it just dawned on me as I was going to use it to open your zip file !
Ive got a feeling my problem stems from deleting google chrome. It may have taken needed files with it.
What a bummer as I use loads of new folders for my art work and photo images. Another bummer is that even system restore cant help as it has only saved 3 recent safe points.
Im just wondering if I save new folders from my lap top on a memory stick then re-download the to the effected pc would that get me out of a scape. who knows ! Not ideal but hey,,Im an artist we are all not right in the head

General Computer Support / new folder option gone !

« on: July 14, 2014, 07:33:09 am »

I am running vista and when I right click a blank space to bring up the options in order to create a new folder. I then click 'NEW' and it says 'empty' and I am unable to create a new folder.
The same thing happens should I use the other option of clicking 'File' on the task bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.,, Im not pc savy
