| | hot key for creating a new folder in Windows Explorer Hi, Does everyone know the hot key for creating a new folder in Windows Explorer? The command is burried too deep in the rclick menu if you have to create new folders very often. Or at least, if we can customize the toolbar or anything to have an icon for creating a new folder (as in XP). Any help is much appreciated. JD |

| | Re: hot key for creating a new folder in Windows Explorer Hi, JD You can do File , New, Folder You can Alt+F, W, F You most likely have a key on the the same row with the spacebar on your right, it sits between the windows logo key and Ctrl key. I call it the context key. It has an icon looks like a small context menu with an upward pointing arrow. Just tap the Context key ,W,F You can _right click_ then tap the W key then the F key. You can create a micro for a one key operation that will create a new folder. You can create a new folder, name it Quicknewfolder, open that folder and create 20 or so New Folders close it. Now you can copy that folder with its contents to any windows explorer window. You could then create a shortcut to that folder put it on your quick launch bar or the links bar in the navigation pane that show in windows explorer, anytime you need a new folder Now no matter where you are just Click and grab and rename it. Kind of like having a box of tissue in each room. That's just a couple of ways you may be able to solve your issue. There could be better ways that others may post later.
