User can't create new folders

A user on the network can't create any new folders on the network or the hard drive itself, message reads that the system has reserved these names etc. but it's rejecting any name regardless

Need much much more detail.
"A user"
What type of user? Windows, Mac, OS Version, etc.
"create folders on the network"
I assume we're talking about creating folders on an OS X Server?
If so, what OS X Server version? Any specfics you can provide about the config would be helpful
"or the hard drive itself"
What hard drive? Are we talking about the user's hard drive or is the server logging in locally to the server?
"reserved names, etc"
An exact error would be helpful
Please take some time provide as much information as possible and also what steps you may have taken to troubleshoot.
Thanks

Can't create new folders

One day, just randomly my laptop stopped letting me create new folders. when i right click and go to "new" the option is simply not there, and when i open windows explorer and click new folder, nothing happens. I have to copy a folder, delete its contents, and rename it every time i wish to create a new folder. I have made no major changes to my computer; the only things I have done is download music from itunes, and a few new video games. I cannot find anywhere that it could be.
Also, I might add I use Comodo firewall, wich not only blocks things from acessing the internet, but from files acessing other files, registry, etc. I didn't know if this could be affecting it. When i instal something new I have to allow it anywhere from 3-8 times for each different thing. I've had it for a few weeks now, and noticed no problem with my laptop because of it other than constantly having it allow things when i first open them.
I have tried system recovery and ran a virus scan with avast and registry mechanic, and none of these have fixed it. The only thing i found online was a guy telling me ot download his program and install it to my registry (however, i did not trust this, because i could not find information of the name of the file he told me to install anywhere else, so i figured it would do more harm than good)

I'll assume you're talking about Windows Explorer. If the problem is elsewhere, it's a different story.
The problem just started today.
With a little luck, a System Restore will fix that registry problem.
   What is System Restore?
Otherwise, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to this key.
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New
In the right pane, look at the data for the value (Default). It should be this.
   {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
If not, attach a picture of what you see (as I have).

I cannot create a new subfolder in one of my mail accounts. (All of my other accounts/inboxes I can create new folders)

> The option to create a new folder is available, however when I click create, no new folder is created.
> I have 5 separate email accounts I am running, it is only 1 specific account which I can't create new folders for.
> I used to be able to create new folders for the account in question.
> It is definitely not a case of my inbox not being expanded.
> I have tried running in safe mode with addons disabled and toolbars reset, but it still doesn't work.
> I opened up the subscribe box, and the folders do not appear there to be subscribed too - which leads me to believe they aren't being created in the first place.
Please help - I have run out of ideas of what to do or try. Thank you so much in advance.

Creating new folders on my Nokia Lumia 620

1) On my Windows 7 pc I can easily create new folders at any time and then copy any webpage to any folder (via going into the Favorites tab). How can I do this with my Nokia Lumia 620?
2) If this is not possible, is it not possible to do so on a Windows 8 pc either?
Thanks for any info.

Can't create playlist folders on ipod classic 120gb

Hi Everyone!
I have an ipod 120gb classic since Jan. and have synced music on it and have it organized with folders and then playlists in them. Now I am trying to add more music and can't create new folders. I highlight my ipod, click on File>New Playlist Folder and it creates one in the itunes playlist area instead. I can click on File>New Playlist and it will create one on the ipod (not in the itunes area like the folder one does.) I can drag playlists from itunes and drop them on the ipod. But when I try to drag an itunes playlist folder with playlists in it, just a playlist is created with the folder's name. On the ipod it will not have the songs in playlists, just in abc order. I honestly don't remember how I did create the folders I do have, but I don't know of any other way than what I'm doing now.
I called Apple support and the guy spent over 30 minutes with me (after I searched high and low through the discussion forum.) He tried on his end and was getting the same results. I even tried reinstalling itunes and did a reinstall of an earlier version of itunes and all that entailed with negative results.
If there's anyone out there than can help me I would greatly appreciate it because I do not like to have my music in lists but organized in folders on my ipod such as Pop, Country, Romantic, etc. I know this ipod can organize into folders since I did it earlier
Thanks!!

Hi Everyone!
First thanks to you Jeff for your help also. I have now resynced (is that a word? LOL) my ipod with folders that way I want. From the replies I got I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong which wasn't the way itunes worked and the way I thought it should Part of my problem was that I had too big of a time span between syncings of my ipod, I had changed my itunes playlist, and I must have used my desktop computer to first load some of the songs rather than my laptop. So when the message came up when I had to change my settings I paniced when it said it was going to erase everything. Your comments sure did help jog my memory since I am a fairly new classic ipod owner!
So for those of you who would like your music sorted into folders and then your separate playlists in them, this is what I'm now doing (translation--what I learned to do!) 1. In itunes make your playlist folder, and then copy each of the playlists you want in it. Ex. folder-Christmas; playlists in it--The Chipmunks Christmas, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Eve, etc. Do that for each kind of folder you want. (I ended up with 17 different folders!) 2. Connect your ipod and select to sync selected playlists, not manual. Go to the music tab and check sync music, selected playlists, making sure everything is checked that you want to sync including the folders themselves. 3. Disconnect your ipod when it says its completed. 4. When you want to sync additional music or folders put them in the itunes playlist. connect your ipod, make sure your setting is still on sync selected music. 5. When you click on the music tab make sure everything is checked that you added new and also the music that is already on your ipod. When itunes syncs it, only the new music will be added so the time will be only for the new stuff.
Lesson learned--Keep your itunes playlist area exactly the same as you want it on your ipod and keep the setting at sync selected playlists making sure everything is always checked that should be on the ipod.
Again, thanks for listening and I hope this helps others as well.
Have a Great Summer!

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

I can no longer create new folders in Windows 7; could this problem be a result of recently reinstalling Firefox?

I'm using Windows 7 Home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. Maybe two weeks ago, I stopped being able to create new folders in the Windows Explorer box; I click the "New Folder" button, and nothing happens: no error message, nothing. Around two weeks ago, I also reinstalled Firefox to get rid of some adware virus (success: the adware is gone!). I do not recall the exact timing on when I did the reinstall and when I stopped being able to create new folders, but I'm wondering if the folder problem could be related to the re-install. And if so, what can I do about it?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

Hello FJasmine, no, it is not related the firefox update with that.

Can We Create New Categories and Folders?

I hate having all of my apps piled up in the "ALL" category. Can we create new categories such as "Business Apps" or "Education" in order to stay organized? If not can we at least create folders within the existing catefories?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I read a response to a similar question yesterday on this forum. The BlackBerry tech said it is not an option right now but you can choose your favorites and have them show in the favorites section. Maybe folders will be available later. Enjoy the new tablet I know I am.

Can't create new users after GroupWise is moved from NetWare to Linux

Hi,
I moved GroupWise (Version 6.5 SP 6, single domain and single office)
from NetWare 6.5 server to SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9. It seems the
GroupWise server is running oaky. Existing users are able to connect
their mail box and send and receive messages. But I can't create new
users on the GroupWise server.
I used ConsoleOne installed on the Linux server to create new GroupWise
users. It seemed that I was able to do it. The new users appear on the
NDS and the GroupWise File IDs were assigned for these users. And I was
able to add these new users to distribution lists. But the users DB
files (userXXX.db) were not created under /grpwise/po/ofuser on the Linux
server and they cannot connect to the server. Old users cannot find them
in Novell GroupWise Address book.
Does anyone how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!

This clearly sounds like your domain (which is the part of groupwise
which you admin against) doesn't/can't talk to the postoffice, so the
change you made (to the domain) does never get to the PO (which is where
the addressbook of your other users come from, and is what is
responsible for creating the user DB). This seems very likely to be
caused by your move not being done properly, and old information (either
path or IP address) for the PO still being in the domain and/or domain
database.
So how's the domain linked to the PO?

Can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders

I can't create New Smart Mailbox Folders. If I go to (menu bar) Mailbox the 'New Smart Mailbox Folder' item is greyed out.
Any ideas on what the problem is, or what I could try?
I already have quite a few Smart Mailbox Folders in Mail, but if I remember correctly I created all these in Tiger & haven't made any since using Leopard (clean install).

I found the answer and it is really stupid. To ungrey the "New Smart Mailbox Folder" menu option you need to unselect any folders or mailboxes. The quickest way to do this is just click just below them, on the blue-grey bar.

Creating new folders in Mail

Greetings..
How does one create new folders under the inbox for organizing purposes? I was expecting to be able to create a "new folder" within any other folder, but all I can find is smart folders, and some other strange option which results in this new folder under the heading "On My Mac"...strange...what's this "On My Mac" all about? Why can't I just create a new folder under my inbox, and organize the way I see fit? This is really odd..

You can accomplish this by creating a new mailbox ( *plus sign* in the bottom left corner of the main window). I think this should say folder, but I didn't make this choice. It acts like a folder. Just click and drag emails from your inbox to these other mailboxes you created. The "On My Mac" just refers to where the emails get stored (/Users/yourshortname/Library/Mail)
D.
Edit: the funny thing is the icon for the new mailboxes is a folder, go figure.

Cannot create new folders in Outlook

I just bought a new PC computer. I installed MSFT Office Professional Plus 2010. I opened Outlook and added in (i) the pst folder I had set up from my previous Vista
computer (also with Outlook 2010), (ii) my hotmail account, (iii) my at&t/yahoo account and (iv) my gmail account. I cannot create new folders in any of them.
When I right click anywhere in the navigation pane and select "New Folder..." I get the following error message:
"Outlook cannot read the registry information.
-Close and restart Outlook.
-Reinstall Outlook
-Reinstall Microsoft Exchange or other e-mail system."
I tried all three, including removing and reinstalling Office and removing all of the email accounts/pst files and re-adding and still have the problem.
If I try to right-click properties on any of the accounts, I get the same error message, with the following additional language first:
"Cannot display 'General' page. This page will remain visible, but is not available."
Not sure what is left to try.
Appreciate any ideas.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, If the PC from clean install, you can follow these steps to test this issue.
1.
Start the Outlook in safe mode,
Press and hold the CTRL key,
and then click Outlook.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
2.
Create a New profile & PST file to test this issue
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile & PST, the old Outlook profile is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
3.
Make sure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
key permissions to allow full permissions to all users

Creating new folders/playlists

are you supposed to be able to create new folders to move your music into? if yes, how do i go about it?

Folders are something you can use in iTunes to manage playlists. Folders are not supported on the iPod so any you have in iTunes don't transfer over. You can add a folder by going to File>Add Folder then drag the playlists into it. You don't drag individual tracks to a folder you use playlists for that:
