When I right click on my desktop and click on new folder I get a box with the following message;
Unable to create the folder"New Folder"
There are no more files
My system is NTFS, I have about 83 Gigs of space left. I am
running XP Home Edition with SP 2.
I have not changed system or added anything to it to cause
any problems. I have run a virus check and two spyware programs and
nothing came up anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm kind of at a lose as to how to remedy it.Thanks in advance.

This sounds like the problem of a corrupt windows registry.

So get some software like Registry Mechanic, or Registry Medic

You could even try CCleaner, which is a nice free app and use it to scan and fix issues.

You might get lucky and it will work!!

Weycraze and ddp,
I appreciate your suggestions. I downloaded CCleaner, ran the issues
part of the program and deleted the findings after backing up my registry.
I am still having the same problem. Do you think I should try one of the other programs that Weycraze suggested? I've never had a problem with this computer of any kind and I'm not real computer literate.
Thank both of you for suggestions and direction to website. I have used Afterdawn for help in DVD backup and other backup issues and the know how on this site is terrific.
Thanks again Carp
