Windows Tips: A Simple Fix for Windows' Misbehaving Folders

Scott Dunn

Add a 'New Folder' Button to Windows Explorer

At last! With BxNewFolder, the smart folks at Baxbex Software have added to Windows Explorer's toolbar a much-needed button for creating a new subfolder of the folder currently selected. Just click the button and a dialog box appears, prompting you for the folder's new name. Don't like switching from mouse to keyboard? Press F12 to open the dialog box, type the new name, and press Enter to add your folder. (Or press Shift-Enter to finish naming the folder and navigate to it in one step.) To top it off, BxNewFolder is free for home use. What's not to like?
