Can't create New Folders on Desktop

Hi,

When I right-click on the desktop or within the Documents Folder (or
similar folders), I no longer have the option to create a "New Folder".
When I choose the "New" option, it reads "empty". I saw someone had a
similar problem on here and they were given a registry fix to download
and merge, which I did, but it did not help me. When I am in the
Documents Folder, I do have the "Organize" option and can do it from
there, but that doesn't help me to create New Folders on the desktop.

Thank you in advance for your time and any help you might be able to
give me.

Melissa

I tried and it did find bad files, but it wouldn't let me read the text
file either through the command prompt or through Windows folders.

Thank you for trying.

Are you on a network? If it's an Active Directory domain, perhaps the
admin has restricted that feature?
