(Updated) Get “New Folder” Button on Windows Explorer Toolbar in XP For Free and Better… :

- Updated (Patch only):
If you already have standard/original Baxbex New Folder application installed ( http://www.baxbex.com/ ), then you can also just download this smaller patch to get the same Vista style icon for Baxbex New Folder as i said before (to patch bxNewFolder.dll): http://www.4shared.com/file/15.....Only_.html

All credits to Baxbex for the nice free software…

Hope that it would be useful, especially for XP users. Anyway good luck…

^^ Yeah actually XP already has its own “Make a new folder” button too, to create a new folder in Windows Explorer, while it’s located in XP Webview Panel/Common Task Pane, see screenshot: http://img243.imageshack.us/i/.....rbutt.jpg/ (and just like Windows 7 RTM Explorer now), but yeah some people would love it’s on the explorer toolbar as well as Open/Save dialog box . Since Baxbex new folder offered only old Windows 98 style icon (not matching with new XP visual style), just download free add on new folder button in XP Explorer Toolbar (my created-skinned/reshacked bxnewfolder with Vista style icon etc) + hotkey and floating dialog box, fully functional and working as well: Screenshots: http://img263.imageshack.us/i/.....pexpl.jpg/ and http://img263.imageshack.us/i/.....gboxa.jpg/

baxbex newfolder (bxNewFolder) looks very ugly on Vista even XP. Seriously lol what the hell do you guys expect? Just look at the webview panel (common task pane) in XP Explorer, there’s already “Make a New Folder” button. Even it’s already placed on Windows 7 RTM’s toolbar by default.

hey guys check this out you will need a program that recordes keystroke macro you may allso be able to do this if you have a mouse that has some aditional buttons and thats awesome cuz u can hit that button and creates a new folder fast and comfy if u dont have a mouse like that then ull need the program for example i use ComfortKeys 3.6 and its a very cool app u can allso find it cracked if you want (if u cant find it cracked email me ->marcel_miller@live.com ) now here is the trick ->for the mouses choose the button record keystroke macro for a button and press Context key (the key between win key and right ctrl like a small context menu with an upward pointing arrow )then W then F ; ones again -> Context key+W+F and there you go . If you have ComfortKeys program then open your cKeys keyboard shortcut settings ,pick a shortcut key then for that shortcut key select the action type ‘Play keystroke macro’ then Record -> OK-> then tap ONLY these keys ”Context key then W then F” enjoy

For the desktop new folder option, make sure the desktop is selected then use the keyboard “rightclick” then press W then F.

Please not that for non-English systems the key sequence will be different, e.g. on my German system it is ALT-d-n-o (datei-neu-ordner)
