  2. Renaming files and making new folders

    Since updating to windows 10 I have had a difficult time renaming files and folders. Sometimes having to open up properties to rename a file, folder from there.

    and when I create a new folder that's all it is New folder I can't rename it and windows doesn't recognize a file with that name or the path to it but yet I can delete it.

    Help!!!

    Thank You

  3. Can save a folder but cannot rename it

    Windows 10 will not let me rename a "new folder" on a Dell laptop or an HP Pavilion 10. I can save the "new folder" to a flash drive and rename it on an Acer computer that has been upgraded. I'm thinking it might be a permissions issue but am not sure.
    Please help!

    1) If you have Registry Workshop installed, open it. If not, open Regedit.exe. To open Regedit.exe: press Win+R (run dialog) and type in regedit -> OK
    2) Assuming Regedit is open. Click/Highlight (not double-click) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, - Open the File Menu and click Load Hive, - Locate the SOFTWARE hive you are using and type in a name, eg., _Temp1
    3) With the hive now loaded, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key -> your hive name (_Temp1) -> then make your way to \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes. - Highlight the FolderTypes Folder -> right click -> Export -> Type a name -> Save - Do the same for \Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes if your are on 64bit.
    4) Go back up to your hive name key (_Temp1) and close it. Then click it to highlight it. - Open the File Menu and click Unload Hive -> Yes
    5) Close Regedit
    6) Go to the reg file(s) you just exported and import by double-clicking it/them.
    7) Restart your computer
