I use Windows 7 and suddenly it stopped allowing me to create new folders - there's simply no such feature in the context menu! What should I do?

First of all you should launch the system file checker. It will remove any faulty files and replace them with Microsoft's. Launch the terminal (cmd) as the administrator and type in sfc /scannow The tool will scan the system for any errors.
However, if the problem persists after the checkup and fixes things get more complicated. 1. Backup your registry before modifying it! 2. Copy text in italic to a new Notepad document: _Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
