Any easy way to create a new folder?
Good evening,
I'm looking for an easy way to create a new folder in the currently open Windows Explorer window. The reason why I prefer not to use the "New - Folder" submenu is that it takes a lot of time to appear. I would rather set up a hotkey or a new toolbar button to do this, but I have no idea how. (Well, I know that .LNK files can be assigned a hotkey, but how would a .LNK file create a new folder in the active path? It can't even recognize it.) Thanks |

Thanks, I'll use CKFolder.
For others who may want to use CKFolder and wonder how to enable the folder tree ("double pane" view) by default, here is how: 1. Go to "Start Settings Folder Options..." 2. Select the "File Types" tab. 3. In the list, select "Folder" and click "Edit..." 4. In the list, Select "explore" and click "set Default." Again, thanks dadiOH :) |
That menu should appear almost instantaneously.
I've had this problem for a long time, even with the previous installtion of Windows 98. Apparently, the speed of the "New" menu depends on the number of registered file extensions under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. More registered extensions means slower "New" menu. This is further explained in the following thread: Slow 'new' option in Context Menu http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...l enet-ops.be Perhaps you have a different issue that needs addressing. Any other menus slow or any problems navigating through different windows, folders, and so on? Nothing I can recall at the moment. Thanks for your reply. |
