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
