adding folders

Using Windows Explorer I want to add a folder under my Account folder. Under the other folders I right click and select new/ folder. In my Account folder this option does not appear and it is greyed out in the Organize area also. Does Windows prohibit one from adding additional folders directly under their Account folder?

I cannot confirm this, I am able to do both just fine. What is your account type, Standard or Administrator? Although, it shouldn't matter since its in your account group. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

My account type is administrator and I am the only user. I am running Vista Home Premium build 5384. My Account folder has 11 subfolders consisting of Contacts, Desktop, Documents and so on. It won't let me created a folder under the Computer folder either. You would think one could create a subfolder under their own Account folder.

Ahhh, I see what you mean, this is by design, the aim is to not have the user folder cluttered I guess. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Yeh - the subfolders in your "User" area (so C:\Users\username) I don't think you can add folders to that (I certainly can't to mine... if this isn't the case, I'm in trouble!), and you certainly can't add folders to the Computer area - as this is just system folders and drives etc.

you can right click in the lower left corner in the favortie links window, and brings up any folder you wish to view.
you will see folders greyed out on there, click on the arrow and your folders will come up.
