| | Create Dated Folder with a right click of the mouse Hello, When I download my photos onto the PC I like to put them in dated folder. E.g. for today, 31-July-2007 I name the folder in the format YY-MM-DD so that I can order the folders by date. 07-07-31 I would like to be able to right click and create a folder named as above, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot! (Was posted in xp group but I need to be able to do this in Vista as well, and Vista seems different) |

| | Re: Create Dated Folder with a right click of the mouse Hello Eliot, Navigate to where you want the folder then right-click and select New > Folder. Rename it 07-07-31. In Vista, there is already a Pictures folder under your username, ie C:\Users\yourname\Pictures. You can create new folders there for your photos. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

| | Re: Create Dated Folder with a right click of the mouse OK there is that way, but it is slow and and an operation I need to do a lot, which means an error may slip in. I would like to be able to right click and then in addition to the "new -> folder" option I have "new -> "dated folder". This involves customising windows somehow and I am not sure where to start to look.
