This article was previously published under Q307133 SYMPTOMS
When you click Make New Folder in a dialog box where you can browse to and select a folder, if the My Documents folder is selected but not expanded, Windows XP may automatically create a new folder without prompting you to name the new folder. Windows XP just uses the name "New Folder."
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, manually rename the folder:
- Right-click the folder, and then click Rename.
- Type a name for the folder, and then press ENTER.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
This behavior does not occur if the My Documents folder is already expanded when you click Make New Folder.
