New Folder

INFO: If you cannot create or rename a New Folder because Folder is missing from the Context menu's New menu or does not work when you click on it, then this will show you how to fix it.

NOTE:
A) If you also cannot rename a normal file or folder and not just a New Folder, then also see: Cannot Rename or Move a File or Folder in Vista Fix
B) If New is also missing from the context menu, then see: How to Restore or Remove New from the Context Menu in Vista
