    Errors on creating, renaming, deleting folders in explorer

    Thanks for that will get on it.

    In meantime, the folder name, rename, delete issues and related error messages in part is just because windows explorer has suddenly started requiring a refresh for each step to show the new folder for renaming, then again after it has been renamed etc. So I have to keep hitting F5 for every step in the process including the moving of files from one folder to another. Is there a solution to that? That would be part of the probelm solved and I can then see if there are any remaining problems.

    Thanks

    Tha bit has been solved by a restart of explorer. I will watch for any remaining issues and folow dalchina's advice should they still be present.

    Cannot Rename File Folders in Win10

    Were you able to resolve your issue? This has started happening to me the last few days and it is driving me crazy. Symptoms are:

    • Renaming any folder results in "Can't find the specified file"
    • Clicking 'Try Again' gives the error, "The file or folder does not exist"
    • I am able to rename folders through any means except Explorer. It is not a permissions issue. I can write a small program that renames folders fine, applications function normally ... it is just Explorer.

    Really not wanting to wipe my system after I just spent a week getting it setup. File Explorer: System Folders Rename :(

    File Explorer: System Folders Rename

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    File Explorer: System Folders Rename wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
