Am having problems with my laptop. I did a complete reinstall and now can not make a new folder on my desktop. When I right click on an open spot on my desktop and scroll done to "NEW" I am no longer offered the option of "Folder". The first option is now "Create a Shortcut"! Can anyone help me?

Hello BonesDoc11,

 

I see that you are having an issue with the creating a new folder option on your computer. This is a weird issue but I have a couple of suggestions that could help.

 

I would like you to click the start menu and type "desktop" in the search bar under all programs.  Select the program desktop and when the page opens there should be a "new folder" option at the top of the screen. Click that option and create a folder. Then go to the desktop and right click and see if you have the option to create new folders.

 

Let me know if this helps.
