Can't create new folder

[Super_Clone]

Ok, so my dad wiped the computer, and i just reinstalled xfire and SWBF2, but when i went to make a addon folder, it said "Cannot create new folder, access is denied" i know the disk is read only but i dont have th disk in. Before my dad wiped the comp, i was able to make new folders in the :C\ directory, any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like the user account he gave you wasn't given permission to create folders. See if you can make folders elsewhere like on the desktop.

Yea, thanks Obi and Tean, is it possible to not have the permission to make folders in the :C/ folder? cause that prbly what my dad did if so.

Yeah if you have a guest account I believe you can only change your files

A potential workaround for this would be to open up any program that lets you search for files - e.g. Word, 3D Object Converter, notepad, whatever - and browse for a file. While you're browsing, use the "new folder" button in there to create a new folder.

I don't know for sure whether it would work, but I remember hearing about this workaround some years ago for someone else's similar situation.
