“New Folder” Option missing from “New” Menu in Windows Vista
Today when I tried creating a New Folder in Windows Vista, I saw that the option was missing from the right click “New” menu. I tried creating it through the explorer by going to “Organize – New Folder”. This option was there but it was doing nothing. I was able to successfully able to create a folder through DOS but that is not something you prefer.
I thought that it might be due to a virus but a scan by my anti virus and anti spyware didn’t find anything. So after searching, I was able to find a solution to this problem. Apparently, the reason why this is happening is unknown. to fix the problem, download this file (folderfix_vista.zip) , extract it to your desktop, you will get a .reg file . Right click on that file and select “Merge” in administrator mode and add it to your registry.
After that, simply refresh the desktop 2-3 times and the entry will be back and working.
wow great!
In the last few weeks, I also had the same problem as Tony and this indeed fixed my issue of the NEW – Folder item missing. It is back and works great. Thanks.
Thanks! Finally, a working solution to this problem.

THANK YOU!
All solutions were pointing me to fix the right click menu ‘New’ option, but NOT the new folder. But you finally shared the solution.
This worked perfectly.
Quite easy to do, as well (for the not-so-computer-savvy people out there).
Thank you very much.
THank you so much!!!!
