Is there any method or freeware product to add a "New Folder" option to the
context menu in Windows Explorer, such that when an existing folder is
highlighted, a right click would bring up the context menu and a new
sub=folder could be created using the option?

TIA

Windows allows that now.
You can right-click and create a new sub-folder after you
highlight the existing folder, right-click, *and _open_ it* first.

For those using Win95/98/se, they can use CreateDir.exe 169 Kb,(first
link) and configure according to the "Create a Directory" section on the
2nd webpage.(second link)

Thank you! Just what I wanted.
 
I would imagine it "should" only be a matter of adding an entry into
the Registry ? These two below work on the same principle and give
a "Copy To" and "Move To" option on a right click.

In Registry Editor, go to :
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
Create a new subkey named <xxxx xx>, right-click in right hand pane
and select "Modify" and enter the following data values.

To Enable "Copy to Folder" :
{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-a18c-00c04fd75d13}
To enable "Move to Folder" :
{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-a18c-00c04fd75d13}

I can't take any credit for this, I spotted it in a magazine a long
time back. It does work (W2K) !!!

Introduction
Do you still angry about the way to create a new folder with Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0 Explorer? MDFolder is the solution. By clicking the
right mousebutton at the desired folder and choosing New Folder you
getting an new folder with a name of your choice!

Installation and Use
Just start the installation with right click on MDFolder.inf and choose
Install

MDFolder has been tested on Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0.

How it works
In Context Menu from the Explorer there is something new: New Folder.
Click it and you will get a dialog. Write down the name of the new
folder and enter OK. Now you have a new folder with this name at the
current directory or drive!

History

I wanted to bring up having a "create multiple folders here" command.

Here is one choice...

Newfolder16, by Roger Sondermann

When you install, it puts a command on your explorer menu called "New
folders here." You can create one folder, or a series of folders.

In the NewFolders box that pops up, typing this:

FOLDER1 FOLDER2 "Another Folder"

Produces this:

\FOLDER1
\FOLDER2
\Another Folder

Typing this:

FOLDER1 @ "next one" @ 3rd @ 4here

Produces this:

\FOLDER1\next one\3rd\4here


Note that if you have a name that has spaces, like in the example, you'll
also have to type quotes around that name. It's because this extension
is a batch file. It was made in 1998. I believe a serious searcher could
find other choices (executables, or VBS scripts) around for similar
purpose (maybe in the ACF archives). In the meantime, I thought some
might find use for a post about the one that I have tested (on win98).

I found the author's current page, yet oddly, he does not list it there.
I don't know why. Still I found the direct link for it on SOS' site:

That's certainly a handy option. Thanks!
