Windows ME question\problem

I`ve recently been using WindowsME and my option to create a new folder on my desktop has dissapeared from my right click menu, i.e. rightmouse>new>folder. As I am usually an XP user could someone suggest a reason as to why this may have happened and more importantly how to get it back. I have never seen this happen before.

Thanks,
Jason.

stop using ME...

my suggestion would be to upgrade. ME is going to give you a lot more problems than that in the future.

ME was the worst of the windows, by far.

What Dampe said, but on a more useful note: have you tried going to the windows\desktop folder in explorer, and then selecting New\Folder from the File menu?

I can't help but I can concurr the ME is a stinker. We had to have one of each OS where I worked and the ME one needed the most reinstalls and had the most crashes by far.

I actually have XP on my home computer I`m just trying to help a friend out with the problem.

Try looking at the Desktop.ini file and/or the registry.

Create the folder somewhere else... then move it to the desktop.

Go into regedit and find your way to the following:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\

Set the 'default' value to:

{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} (including curly brackets!!)

Back up your registry first if unsure.

By the way - this can also happen in WinXP as its an Internet Explorer issue. The fact that WinME is crap has nothing to do with it.

OK thanks, I`ll give that a try.

Kanati seems the most simple, and yet completely ignores the problem... Thats the one I'd go with...
