Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Right Click any file and create New Folder by its Name
« on: March 14, 2024, 02:31 AM »
Well, Windows 11 presented another problem (for me) which was un-fixable by all the "standard" means quoted on the web. So, I resorted to the re-installation of Windows/Retain all your files method to try and solve the issue. I THINK it may have fixed my new problem, but just for giggles I tried the Files2Folder  program again, and lo and behold, it now WORKS! No bets on how long it will stay working, but time will tell. FWIW - During the period that F2F did NOT work, I continued to search for a replacement. I found one, it works (although a bit slower, but it seems to be currently/actively supported. So, I'm now using THAT one. I won't mention it's name here, as that seems inappropriate to me. But, I WILL give a clue: same name only singular, via Google search. Good luck, if anyone cares. If not, c'est la vie! I still think this one (on this site) is a GREAT program, as long as  it continues working. Would still like to see it updated to more modern versions of Windows.

I've got the same problem as noted by Cinematic6436, above. The difference is, I'm running Windows 11. A fresh install of Win 11 was done on a new machine in May of 2022. files2folder ran fine until about April or May of 2023, then suddenly stopped working. I assumed a Windows Update killed it. I re-installed, several times, nothing seems to help. I tried the Registry action listed above. Only found TWO instances of files2folder in the Registry, but I deleted them both. End result?  Still have the same problem, with the same error message. BUT, I did manage to kill ALL internet access in the process! I've done MANY Registry edits in the past without problems, but who knows...Windows is a strange, unforgiving beast. Anyway, a Restore from a Back-Up-Point solved the problem.

So, any chance the author could "fine-tune" the program to make it work like it used to? I'd gladly donate, if it can be made to work again....
