hi...guys!

Here something that has been bugging me forever...
I want that The Explorer Toolbar has a "New Folder" button....
I have searched the net and found alternatives like " new folder in quick launch or new folder in folder context menu"...but the thing is I only want it in toolbar.

Mac explore has it by default.

I don't care if I have to fiddle with registry or change a system file...

Please show me how to do it.....

Right click Explorer and check the Links
option to add the to the taskbar.
Paste this SendKeys script into a *.vbs file,
and/or a shortcut to the *.vbs file
in your %HOMEPATH%\Favorites\Links
directory:

dim wshShell
set wshShell=CreateObject("WScript.shell")
wshShell.sendkeys("%(f)")
WScript.Sleep 100
wshShell.sendkeys("w{ENTER}")

You can add the "Make a New Folder" Icon to the shortcut:
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll (scroll almost to the end)
It may not work right if you have "Open Command Window Here"
or the Action "Open With Command Prompt" on the VBS file type may
be carried over to the File Menu and executed before "New > Folder"
as the underlined "W" in Window is ambiguous with the "W" in New

Got this while searching through Google.

thanks deeraj for makin' me understand...
and for your concern.....

i must make it clear that i was looking for a solution by which i can add buttons to toolbar like views,cut, copy etc.which are already present in toolbar.

and i'm not looking for an easy alternative like adding new folder to "links"...
forgive me for my mistakes and bluntness...

thanx very much...KaranTh85 :p
now that what I wanted!


Can any one tell me how to change icon of "new folder button" in bxnewfolder.exe

Icon is kind of outdated and doesn't go with my other toolbar buttons.

p.s. "reshacker" didn't work...
