Add a Create New Folder icon to the Windows XP Quick Launch toolbar

Creating new folders to store files is a basic Windows XP task, but Windows Explorer does not have a button for easy creation of new folders. You can create your own shortcut by adding a Create New Folder button to the Quick Launch toolbar. Follow these steps:

1.Press [Windows]E to launch a new Windows Explorer window.
2.Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch. ({Username} is your account name.)
3.Create a new folder in the Quick Launch folder and name it Create New Folder. You
will see a new button on the Quick Launch toolbar called Create New Folder.
4.To create a new folder, hold down [Ctrl], drag the Create New Folder icon from the
Quick Launch toolbar, and drop it in the folder in which you want to create a new
folder. You will see a new folder, and the Create New Folder icon will remain on
the Quick Launch toolbar.

Note: This tip applies to both Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional.
