Just this evening when I went to make a new folder in Windows Explorer by clicking on File|New, I saw that New is gone! So with that, the option to make new folders is also gone. Argh!
Has anyone else had this happen, and if so, how can I get that option back? I've tried searching Microsoft's (useless) Knowledge Base and found nothing.
Any help would really be appreciated.

Nope, sorry to blow that theory, Miko. I don't have an Nvidia graphics card.

Finally through some creative Googling, I found an answer to my problem at

I thought I'd post it for the archives in case anyone else runs into this problem.

well (for the archives as well) certain versions of Nvidia drivers have a bug which removes this registry key when uninstalled.
