Most of us need to create new folders in Windows, to better organize our files in File Explorer. Windows 10/8/7 includes the ability to add new folders with a keyboard shortcut key combination.
Hotkey for creating a new folder
To create a new folder, we normally right-click, select New > Folder. But Windows 10/8/7 lets you do it with a keyboard shortcut too.
To set a Hotkey for creating a new folder, simply press Ctrl+Shift+N in an open Explorer window & the folder will be automatically created instantly show up, ready to be renamed to something more useful.
For example, click on the desktop and then press Ctrl+Shift+N. You will see that a New folder is created instantaneously all ready to be re-named.
You can open in this fashion in any Windows File Explorer window.
If you want to have the same functionality in Windows Vista, you can download and use this free tool mdAxelerator. It has been hosted on Mediafire so please scan the file first, create a system restore point and then use it.
