Keyboard Shortcut for Creating a New Folder

Are you one of the guys who’s obsessed with using the keyboard instead of the mouse????

I hate to use the mouse and prefer using a keyboard unless and otherwise there is no other option. The reason for that being the non-ergonomic workstation in my office. My wrist pains like hell after I use my mouse for a long time.

Today I had to arrange a lot of word documents in my computer, which required me to create a lot of folders. Initially, I Right-Clicked on the explorer and created a new folder, but after sometime I was bored and wanted to know a keyboard shortcut for the same. I browsed the net to know the shortcut, and could not believe what I saw.

Microsoft has not provided a keyboard shortcut to create a new folder!!!!

The only option I had was to press Alt+F, then W, and then again F, but that was too much, so I went down the search and found an article from Home Computer Magazine, which talked about a software which when installed would provide a one key solution for creating a new folder. The software is called bxNewFolder, which is from BaxBEx Software Products.

Once installed, you can create a new folder by clicking on the new folder icon, which appears on the toolbar and for keyboard crazy people like me, just press F12. It’s as simple as that.
