Please help, Problem with XP Create new folder on desktop
When I Right-click on my Desktop and select New - Folder from the menu, I
get the following error message:
"Unable to create folder
Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'
There are no more files."
(Here is a link to an image of the error box:
http://home.comcast.net/~j_younger/Error_Message.JPG )
The same thing happens when I try to create a new txt message, a new bmp
image, etc., only instead of "folder," the error message says "file." This
is only happening on the Desktop... I can create new folders and text files
inside of other folders.
If anyone can help me on this, I would be much obliged.

is this your personal PC? Never seen that message before.. perhaps a permissions issue? Have you been fiddling with Group Policy? Too many files in the desktop folder??I'm not a complete idiot... some parts are missing. -

Anything in the System log? If there is, try searching for the event id at www.microsoft.com
Can you create a new file after you delete another?
"There are no more files." Another clear error message from MS... your files are no more.
Mine started out even worse this morning:
"The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block."

Heh, went through something like that on Monday. Cept mine wasn't bad block... one of my 200 gig archive drives just decided it didn't have a partition table anymore. The OS saw it as Free Space and no bloody recovery tool I've run could recover the data from it. Every diagnostic I throw at it says the drive is fine though.
I think something frotzed with the drive controller of the box it was attached to, so it got moved and low-leveled. Now I just have to rip all my music to mp3 again and download a whole lot of PDF's to rebuild what was lost.
I swear to god I can't wait for my tax return. I am so building a raid5 array.= Marcus Drakonblayde
