Windows Explorer can no longer make new folders I (actually, a very unfortunate friend of mine)   can no longer create new folders from the Windows Explorer program. (It is important to note that mkdir and friends still work.) I have no idea how this came to be, but my friend denies any system-wide changes around the time it started.  How might I go about adding it back in as it would normally be?  (Note also that other context menu options remain—the 'new folder' one simply is not among them.)
Can't create new folder from anywhere in Windows 7 I have this problem on two of my new laptops and can't seem to find a decent workable solution elsewhere in forum land. The problem is that on my Windows 7 Professional machines the right mouse button doesn't show the New Folder option and elsewhere as well (via Explorer) I'm unable to create new folders.   I'll be happy to get this tiny problem resolved and declare that Windows 7 is almost perfect! Thanks to all of you in advance for your contribution!  PS: None of the Vista solutions seem to work here!      Tried NewFolderFix.reg, didn't work - "Not all data was succesfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."  Converted FolderFix.reg to .inf file and that worked.  Don't recall the problem appearing after an update.  MS answer to the explore process hanging (KB 972685) was to install the latest Visual C++ Update (vcredist.exe).  Nope. That didn't help either.  I haven't touched Silverlight since installation when Windows 7 hit the shelves. I tortured the RC installation before that, and never had problems there either.    UPDATE-  Logged back into Administrator account, still missing from there. Spent a bit more time looking instead of just fixing. Just yto make sure, logged back into my user account - still OK there.  Turns out the entries in HKCR\CLSID were the culprit here. Reg file wouldn't take again (as above) but inf file fixed it. This key was unable to be entered from regfile, or altered or deleted in Regedit (Permissions).   Don't quite understand why a common key in HKCR needed to be entered separately for each user.   Here is the file I used to fix it. Just copy into notepad, save as newfolderfix.inf, rt-click and select Install  ================================================================  [Version]  Signature=$Windows NT$  [DefaultInstall]  AddReg     =REGEntries.AddReg  [REGEntries.AddReg]  HKCR,"%String0%",,0x0,"CLSID_ExecuteFolder"  HKCR,"%String0%\InProcServer32",,0x0,"ExplorerFrame.dll"  HKCR,"%String0%\InProcServer32","ThreadingModel",0x0,"Apartment"   [Strings]  String0 = "CLSID\{11dbb47c-a525-400b-9e80-a54615a090c0}"  =============================================================   Thanks to others who helped point me in the right direction.
How is the popularity of "recent tags" calculated? How are these calculated? I see them going up and down all the time, and there are obviously way more than 48 questions about C# so how are these calculated? Tricks for getting lots of arrows? Any tips or tricks for getting arrows (besides cheating)? Or tricks for finding a skeleton spawn?  I've tried farming chickens and gravel for feathers and flint, but it takes a ridiculously long time. How do people get enough arrows to make using a bow actually feasible? OS: UBUNTU 18.04  I had installed Oracle Java 8 earlier. But decided to switch to open JDK 11. it's successfully installed. java -version openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3, mixed mode, sharing)  Then I set the JAVA_HOME sudo nano /etc/environment  File changes: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/$ JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/"  Then executed: source /etc/environment  echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/  But the moment I exit the terminal and then launch the terminal again: I get this output:  ▶ echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle  which you can see is not what is expected. Please help me out Determine whether a number is prime How do I determine if a number is prime?  I'm writing a program where a user inputs any integer and from that the program determines whether the number is prime, but how do I go about that? How to pipe output from one process to another but only execute if the first has output? How can I rewrite this command to only email if there is output from the mailq | grep?  mailq | egrep 'rejected|refused' -A 5 -B 5 | mail -s 'dd' email@email   Is this even possible on one line?  See  for a more general case than sending email. It has been said that RSA uses a modulus product of two prime numbers for security reasons. But does RSA even work correctly if we allow composite integers instead?  I think that the answer is "NO".  Define “work correctly” as:   allows encryption and decryption to be carried out as in normal RSA, yielding the original message (message padding and unpadding can remain unspecified, or absent as in texbook RSA); a security level can be given in terms of the key generation process (which may have alternate requirements to testing that $p$ and $q$ are prime). Facebook authorization fails on iOS6 when switching FB account on device With Ubuntu 16.04 laptop doesn't suspend when lid is closed I have a Dell 7737 laptop, and with Ubuntu 16.04 it no longer suspends when the laptop lid is closed. With 14.04 closing the lid put the laptop to suspend as expected. However, I reloaded the system with Ubuntu 16.04 and now closing the laptop does nothing. The laptop continues to run as if nothing happened.  When I manually select "Suspend" from the menu it works as expected. (Though it does prompt me to double login on resume. No, not encryption login followed by OS login. This is a double OS login.)  NOTE: Altering the System Settings|Power doesn't seem to affect anything.  Any ideas on what changed from 14.04 to 16.04 in this area? I'm trying to decide on a higher-end digital SLR, and I'm down to choosing between an APS-C model and a full-frame model.  I understand that the sensors are of different sizes, and as such have an effect on the perceived magnification of the lens, with the smaller APS-C sensor having an effective focal length greater than what it otherwise would be with a full frame sensor. But why does this matter?     What things should drive my choice between one or the other?   In which situations is one better than the other, and why? How to delete contacts from the Windows 8 People app? I never really bothered to keep my Hotmail contact information up to date, so now that I connected it to Windows 8, suddenly I see all this outdated contact information or people I've long stopped talking to.    I don't see any buttons or options where I can click to delete someone.  So how do I clean up my Windows 8 People app and remove these contacts? I'm going to install Linux on Lenovo B5400, which contains:   500GB Hybrid SSHD with a 8 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD   Designing partitions for my 2 Linux distros was quite easy before, when I had only HDD. I always had:   10GB for Linux distro (mounted as "/") 10GB for another distro (again "/"; for another distro; for testing purposes or to assure continuity when switching distros) 2GB for swap (used for both distros; no need to separate) 300GB+ for "/home" (used for both distros; different usernames eliminates possible conflicts)   It's simple, isn't it? I would like to keep this approach, but I know that SSD has its own specificity - it prefers to be read, continuous writing may affect its life span. I don't want to kill SSD in a year, so I would like to move some system partitions to HDD in order to protect SSD. As far as I know /tmp is one of often read&amp;written locations. How much space it needs? What else should be placed on HDD?  Or: how to design partitions to achieve exactly the same effect and to keep SSD as safe as possible?  I'd be grateful for your help. In the comedic music video  there are many clips of vintage scifi films, some of which I recognize.

Windows 10 upgrade led to grub rescue How to format numbers as currency strings Any questions relating to status updates, or asking if anything is going to be patched for these vulnerabilities should be closed as duplicates of this question.    are in the news right now and sound pretty severe. I don't see any security updates from Ubuntu that cover these vulnerabilities.  What is Ubuntu doing about these vulnerabilities, and what should Ubuntu users be doing?  These are CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715 and CVE-2017-5754. How to set up USB for Virtualbox? I can't figure out how to line up the symbols of an itemize environment in beamer with the left part of the main text. In other words, I would like to supress the left margin in beamer itemize lists.  It would be nice if the solution worked with any itemize label defined with  \setbeamertemplate{itemize item}[]   In order to make myself clearer, what beamer produces by default is something like:  Main text. Main text. Main text...    * Item 1    * Item 2    * Item 3    ....   and the desired result is   Main text. Main text. Main text... * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3 .... I have a model which you can see here (camera perspective).    In the second image, you can see how the render turned out.    I'm at my wit's end trying to figure our why it's not showing up in the render. If anyone needs more information, just ask and I'll get it to you.
