Modify New Folder naming

[clippan]

Hi, I've heard that it should be possible to modify the folder name when you
create
a New Folder. For example the suggested default name "New Folder" could be
modified to a new default suggestion, for example New Folder+date. This would
result in folder names like New Folder 20080313, New Folder 20080314 etc.

In that case, how do you do that?

Add the date manually during the folder creation.

DOH!

Since I'm from Sweden I don't know what the expression DOH! means but I
looked it up on the net, and it means ""Expressing frustration at the
realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one
has just said or done something foolish. Also (usually mildly derogative):
implying that another person has said or done something foolish."

So if you think I asked something foolish, ok, but I do know that I can add
the date manually in the folder name, my question was if there was a way of
getting it done automatically, for reasons that at least I now about.

Thank's for answering though!

It originated on the Simpson's TV program.

What you asked cannot be done AFAIK. Just add the date manually when
the box for naming the new folder pops up (hit your END key to get to
the point where you add the date to "New Folder").

It's really just as simple as that.

FYI (For Your Information), I've been monitoring this group since
October of 2001 when Windows XP was first released, and your query on
this is the first I've seen... which should be an indication as to how
important your specific need is compared to the needs of the majority
of XP users.
