I have vista, and when i try to create a new folder on the desktop, which has very few icons/files, it won't let me.:mad:

Here is picture:

But i can create folders elsewhere, on the computer and i have a good sum of memory.

And ideas:confused:

Edit: i am admin
Edit: N1ke, i am admin, and it says i don't have enough space on the desktop.

I assure you the computer has been restarted plenty, i didn't mind this problem at first, so i just left it and continued using the computer. But, now i feel its really bugging me.:(

If you can't make a folder, then I'm rather sure you ain't admin...

Ohh okay, do you store your files in the C drive or in the ubuntu drives? maybe your C drive is full and that's why you cant store anything on the desktop..
