add folder to right click new menu

[foxygrandma]

Have been trying to add Folder to my desktop right click  menu for some time.  Had it about a month ago  but it  disappeared.   On my desk top now shows in New: short cut,  bitmap image, contact, HTML document, journal document, Microsoft access data base, Microsoft office binder, Open document drawing, Open document presentation, Open document spread sheet, Open document text, Other office documents, Microsoft power point presentation, Text document and Briefcase

 Have many  documents that I work with regarding Alzheimers and would like to put them in  folder on my desktop

I don't quite understand the problem.

Are you saying that you can no longer create a new folder when right-clicking the desktop? (i.e. the picture below)

hmmmm, what a time!  When I go here to directory all there is  this  default REG_SZ (value not set) and Content Type REG_SZ and application/x
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\


then I tried this    So people - simply click the following link and run this Create New Folder fix OK!

Don't worry, it works in both Windows Vista and Windows 7 and will fix this issue instantly. I would also suggest, that you store the file on the hard drive and link to it for a few days, just in case the create New Folder option does a disappearing act on you again.

but could not get it to install.  brain too tired to deal more with it now  gotta hit  the sack
