    Can not create New Folder in Desktop

    When you open 'Properties' for the 'Desktop' folder in your 'Username' and select 'Location' does it show as in image below:

    If not select 'Restore Default' (blank out is your 'Username', even if it appears correct still select. (worth a try).

    Try create a new folder from desktop!!!

    If that does not work try (suggestion):

    Rename current desktop folder to 'Desktop1' > create a new 'Desktop' folder > try to create new folder from desktop.

    Trying to avoid creating new user profile!!!!!!

    Desktop folder moved

    Normally you can right-click the folder that "is" the desktop (so the Dropbox folder in this case), go to properties, and use the Location tab to undo the mistake. However, since DropBox itself is already a special folder, I think you'll need to fix this
    in the registry.

    Don't worry, it's actually quite easy. Here's how:

    • Make sure a Desktop folder exists in your user folder

      Go to C:\Users\YourName (your user folder) and make sure a folder named "Desktop" is there (even if it's not actually being used to store the desktop files at the moment). Create a folder named Desktop if it's not there.
    • Open Registry Editor.

      Hold down the

      Windows Logo key and type
      R to open the Run box, type regedit, then click OK to open Registry Editor. Confirm the administrator prompt if required.
    • Using the folders (keys) on the left side, navigate down to this path:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    • On the right side, find Desktop and double-click it. Set it equal to
      %userprofile%\desktop
      and click OK.

    After you're done, restart your computer and now the folder will be back to acting correctly.
