When you select a folder object in explorer to create a new sub-directory, you must perform the subject action to create a new folder. Wouldn't it be nice to just right click and choose NewFolder? While there might be a real way to do this, here is a method that works:
1. Per tip 060 select view/options/file types in explorer.
2 Scroll to folder and select it.
3. Press Edit and then New.
4. Type NewFolder in Action.
5. In Application...., type:
c:winntsystem32cmd.exe /c MD
%1NewFolder
6. OK out of the dialogue.
Now when you select a folder object and right click, you can choose NewFolder. A sub-directory named NewFolder is created which you can rename.
