The File or Folder Does Not Exist

This is driving me up the wall. I've seen other posts just the same but so
far no answers that work.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and when I create a new folder on any of
my hard drives (I have three) and then try to rename it I get a pop up
stating "The File or Folder Does Not Exist" and the name then reverts to New
Folder.

I have checked my rights and I have full rights on all. Has anyone any idea
what is causing this. It only started 3/4 weeks ago but did not seem to
correspond with any alteration or new program.

HELP
 
Mick, I am right clicking and choosing rename or double clicking to reach
rename. When I rename the pop up appears and the folder goes back to new
folder (1) (2) etc dependant on the number of new folders created.
 
Brink,

Tried that still the same result "The file or folder does not exist" and the
name reverts to New Folder.
 
I have done both a reset and a SFC and still no change. I know it's a setting
somewhere within Vista but I just cannot locate it. It's clear from other
posts that this has happened to others. How did they clear it?
