    Can't create a new "anything" anywhere


    I was trying to create a new folder in one of my file folders by pressing the button up top. I even tried using the "New Items" dropdown to try and create a bitmap image or Notepad document, but nothing happens. I tried right-clicking for those and the "New..." submenu option isn't there.

    That's odd, looking through these articles and picking around a bit, I noticed that the "ShellNew" folder is missing from the file system.

    But, as it turns out, that wasn't the case, and I used another awesome tutorial instead to fix it.
