1) The "Folder" entry appears correctly here. I don't know how it got removed from your system. You should be able to restore it using the folder association fix here:

2) See "Method 3" in Microsoft KB 253212
How to Prevent "Shortcut to" Prefix from Being Added to New Shortcuts:

Infact it's the " - Shortcut" suffix that gets added. "Method 3" in the above link works fine in Vista as well.

Vista HP
1. Is there any way to restore/create a New Folder button for Explorer
windows... (why on earth did they take it away???)
2. How can I tell Vista to stop adding "- Shortcut" to shortcut names?
(aaargh!)
3. Bug? (or oversight!) Shortcut to an image produces an image in the
Details pane, but I get "No Preview Available" in the Preview Pane
.... annoying, I want to create shortcuts as a way of organising images in a
way that a custom search won't support without going to the trouble of
creating lots of tags...
Any help appreciated!
