And also, is your mouse wireless or wired (with a cord on it)? If wireless, change the batteries on it and try on another PC as Henk suggests. Have seen this failure on wireless mice with failing or low batteries. Does your mouse have a Green Light on the top?

Interesting thought, I hadn't considered that. I've been dealing with the issue for weeks. I created a folder a minute ago and got just one? If the problem returns I'll let you know if your idea works.

Thank you for your help - IM
