    A " New Folder " is Simultaneously created

    Hello, folks

    When I create and name a new folder on the desktop, a simultaneously folder is created under the title β€œNew Folder”?

    Attached is a photo of the desktop

    Thanks in advance

    By the way, when I store a file into the titled folder , the associated New Folder disappears?

      Hi Ayed
      Can you start task manager by pressing the Ctrl Shift and ESC at the same time
      Click on the process tab
      Do you see any files named newfolder.exe, srvidd20.exe iddono20.exe or editor.exe

      Cheers

          let’s try the old fashioned way
          right click on the task bar > Task manager
          OR
          Ctrl Alt Del together

              Does this only happen on the desktop ?
              Create a new local user (can be deleted after) and see if it still happens
              Might be corrupt profile Instructions Click On Me if needed

                  I have just created a file and named it. The nagging New Folder pops up on the desktop. Then, I’ve created a local account and named it. The New Folder–the bone of problem, disappeared?

                      Corrupt profile
                      Next step is to copy files to new user profile Click On Me Scroll down to the heading
                      [HEADING=2]Copy files to the new user profile[/HEADING]
                      If you have email messages in an email program, you must import your email messages and addresses to the new user profile separately.

                      Some applications previously installed may need to be reconfigured or reinstalled.

                      Please let us know how you go

                          With the new user/profile you do not have the problem correct?
                          If no problem with new user/profile follow steps in post #11
