Can't make new folders

What happens when you try to create a new folder? Or is it that you don't have the option to?

This . I can hit the "New Folder" button, but nothing happens, and right clicking doesn't give me the option.

Have you tried creating another user with full permission?
And then create a new folder?

Tried the link, in progress. I killed the explorer.exe in Task Manager, but the icon for the thing to merge disappeared. I'm still screwing around with it.

EDIT: I created a shortcut, and killed Explorer. It still gave me the same error message. Any suggestions on what else to kill?

The new user didn't work.

Try going into Safe Mode and see if you can create Folders there. I have to imagine that if it was a system wide issue you'd not be able to make them in Safe Mode but if you can then it might be a virus or a permissions issue.

Also, I'm sure you've searched around before posting, but have you tried: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru...f4ae551cf/ ?

Tried Safe Mode; nada.

Tried the link already, I get the "cannot merge because that pomegranate is running" message.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
