Vista - Can't Create New Folder

Every time I right click and highlight New Windows Explorer freezes and I have to restart the program. I would appreciate any help, this is a huge nuisance

Not really enough information to get focused help, but in general having
issues with right-clicking tend to be caused by third-party programs that
shove themselves into the right-click context menu. An easy way to handle
this is with the free ShellExView program:

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace objects -

After you've done that troubleshooting, if you need more help please provide
some more information about your system and in particular the answer to The
First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

This is happening to me as well. It started happening after I installed
EZTwain Pro toolkit, but even after uninstalling that, the problem remains.
It freezes when right-clicking on the Desktop, or within Windows Explorer and
trying to expand the New item. It also happens if I try to expand the New
item from the File menu in Windows Explorer (rather than right-clicking). I
have tried using ShellExView to give me clues, but it hasn't helped. I
sorted by the Type column and disabled everything of Context Menu type, but
it didn't seem to have any effect. I still see all options I saw before when
right-clicking, and the New item still hangs. I wish I could do system
recover to a time before I installed the toolkit, but now it's too late as it
will only allow 6 days back, just after I installed it. However, I have
talked to other people who have installed that program on Vista and nobody
has had this problem.

I am running Windows Vista Business, 32-bit.
