I am running Windows ME and recently discovered that my File Menu and View
Menu in Windows Explorer appear to have been altered. Previously, when I
clicked on "File", the first option was always "New" which allowed me to
create new folders. This option has disappeared not only from the File Menu,
but also within applications, so that the only way I can create a new folder
is through an MS-DOS window. My ability to view "thumbnails" has also
disappeared. I have run antivirus and spyware programs and have found no
infections. Would anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what happened, and
how to repair or correct it? Thanks in advance!
(My guess is that the Registry has somehow been altered. The only bulletin I
could find that was somewhat related concerned the missing Most Recently Used
(MRU) option in Windows 2000, however, that problem was blamed on Tweak UI
which I am not running)
