I have to copy some folder, paste, remove files and rename it to get new folder

Right click mouse have no options too :/

Anyone know the solution? Pleeez

Hello ARMAN

Have you been able to do this before? I really don't think you can create a folder while in Windows Explorer.

ARMAN · 01-18-2005, 08:30 AM

Hi Geekgirl

Yes I could, there was
File/Add new/
- folder
- file
- .zip
- .txt
bla bla etc

now its gone

There is any other way to add folder as far as I know...

You are right I apologize, I right clicked My Computer and selected explore and didn't see an option but when I opened My Computer and then tried to create a folder the option is there. I apologize for the misunderstanding

It's always best to put as much details as possible so we can understand what you are trying to achieve. Some of us are very blonde LOL

Try this, go to View>Folder Options >View. Under Advanced settings see if there is a check in the Show Pop-up description for folder and desktop items.

Its a czech version but still you can see there is no option to make a folder and it was there:

Last box "Show Pop-up description for folder and desktop items" - its checked:

I dont really want to reinstall Windows

if there is some possibility pleaze give some advize

I am blond too, so no worries here

LOL

Try this, Go to Start>run and type sfc /scannow. Have your 98 Cd handy. This will replace damaged files.

Read the section pertaining to your O.S in this Link

You can try what they call a "dirty" install if you dont want to wipe it out ocmpletely.
While running in normal mode place the 98 disc and install. It will copy over top the existing o.s. and you will not lose your info.

ARMAN · 01-19-2005, 03:01 PM

Ok, i give it a try later I hope it will not uninstall everything

Thanx GeekGirl

Geekgirl · 01-19-2005, 04:42 PM

As long as you don't choose to format the hard drive you will be ok

ARMAN · 01-21-2005, 01:17 PM

Thank you GG

, W98 CD didnt give me an option to install, so I found on hard drive and ran Windows setupcor.exe and it scanned and reinstalled all the components wich were missing! and now its WORKING!!!!!

Geekgirl · 01-21-2005, 02:02 PM

Well I'm not proud to tell someone to do an install like that I would prefer a fresh install and it is recommended. Although I do use that method on my own personal pc when I get lazy
