New Folder With Right Click
Make New Folder command to your right-click,
or context, menu. This saves you the trouble of navigating to
the File menu's often slow New submenu. To create a new context
menu item, open an Explorer window (pressing <Windows>-E
is one way) and choose Tools, Folder Options. Click the File Types
tab, and in the 'Registered file types' list, select File Folder
and click Edit (in Windows 98) or Advanced (in later versions)
to open the Edit File Type dialog box. Now click the New button.
For 'Action', type the words that you want to appear on your context
menu (such as New Folder). For 'Application used to perform action',
type command.com /c md "%1\%New Folder%" (in Windows
98 and Me) or cmd.exe /c md "%1\%New Folder%" (in Windows
2000 and XP).
Click OK and then close the remaining dialog boxes. Now when
you right-click a folder icon, your New Folder command will be
available without your having to navigate through the New submenu
(see Figure 2). Windows won't permit you to create two folders
named "New Folder" in the same place, so you have to
rename any folder you create before you can choose the command
again.

menu (such as New Folder). For 'Application used to perform action',
type command.com /c md "%1\%%DATE%%" (in Windows 98
and Me) or cmd.exe /c md "%1\%%DATE%%" (in Windows 2000
and XP).
