New folder error
This is more an annoyance than a problem.
In Windows 7, if I right click in a directory and select "NewFolder," a new folder is created and the name "New folder" is highlighted. If I leave it at that and remove the focus, all is fine, and I have a folder with the name "New folder," which I can rename as I please. However, if I try to rename the folder during the creation process, while the name "New folder" is highlighted, I get an error: ------------- Item Not Found ---------- Could not find this item This is not located in [d:\directory]. Verify the item's location and try again. New folder Date created: [time/date] buttons:Try again-Cancel -------------------------------------------- which actually makes sense. If I hit the "Try again" button, the function proceeds and the folder is created with my new name. I don't think this has always been this way. An update or something I installed is causing this. Does anybody else experience this? -- Crash I always thought Mensa was a Japanese import. |

I can't reproduce it here on my Win7 HP 64-bit, and I have all the latest Win updates installed. If it were me I'd try it in different folders to try and get some insight into it. Questions that occur; 1. Does it always report the correct folder? 2. Does it always work on retry? 3. Are other contextual commands compromised? Ed |

I'd rather be annoyed than put the libraries back. I remember internally visualizing it as the file operation code jumping to a block of code that determines whether you're working with a Library entry or not, and it fails if the Library is disabled. Try Again seems to bypass the Libraries hook and go directly to the file operation code. Harder to explain properly than to visualize. -- Char Jackson |

New folder error
I've run into this problem extensively.
I've come to blame Windows Search. With Windows Search service enabled, the updating of the index causes a slowdown. Even though you see the folder, it's not quite there yet because the indexing has slowed the update of the MFT. You're trying to rename a directory that Windows doesn't know exists yet, though you see it, hence the error. I have not invoked the Disable-Libraries hack. I've had this happen on fast and slow systems. "Dave "Crash" Dummy" wrote in message ... This is more an annoyance than a problem.
