Where can I change this? possible fix here Thank you so much for replying. Unfortunately, I have tried all the solutions list on the link you posted, but it still hasn't fixed the problem.

A possible work around until you fix the problem: C:\test>md newfolder C:\test>ren newfolder myfolder C:\test>dir *folder Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 0652-E41D Directory of C:\test 05/09/2010 07:20 PM myfolder 0 File(s) 0 bytes 1 Dir(s) 296,608,641,024 bytes free C:\test> p.s. If newfolder has a space ( new folder ) use quotes for the ren command: ren "new folder" myfolder Quote from: bftly on May 09, 2010, 12:23:40 AM I've never had this problem before, but when I create a new folder, it won't let me name it.

This exact issue worked for a customer of mine just 2 Months ago. if the fix-it does not resolve your issue, let me know how you are progressing and I will be happy to walk you through any questions you have in setting the PERMISSIONS. The steps above could have been more clear, let me clarify: To ADD to my information above the appdata folder location is located here: C:\users\"YOUR LOGGED IN USER NAME"\Appdata The easiest way to navigate there would be by double clicking on "My Computer" and then your main hard drive, which is usually C: Are you there ? Ok. 1) You won't see the folder unless you have hidden folders showing. Here is how to set that: 1. Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button (or Ctrl-Esc), clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. 2. Click the View tab. 3. Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK. Changing Folder Permissions 2) Here is how you would grant full control permission to this folder: 1.Right Click on the Folder you wish to change properties on 2.Select “Properties” 3.In the Properties window go to the Security tab and click on Edit. 4.If the your user account is not on the list of users or groups that have permissions defined, you should click on add. Now you need to type the user name or the group of users for which you want to change the permissions. 5.After adding your account, Click Check Names and then click OK. 6.In the Security window, select the user/group you just added and then click in the first check box under Allow which is “Full Control” and then click OK. This should be a more clear walk through. So, let us know how this works out." |
