Could anyone tell me how to make a Hot key to create a new folder? thanks.
 
I suppose you could write a batch file using the "make directory" command. Then create a shortcut to the batch file and assign a shortcut key. The batch file would look something like this depending on where you want the new folder located.

Open Notepad and type the following:
md c:\windows\desktop\"New Folder"

Save the file with .bat extension. Next, create a shortcut to the batch file. Go to the properties of the shortcut and assign a shortcut key (put the cursor in the shortcut key field and press Ctrl and N for example).

There may be better ways, but this seems to get the job done.
