keyboard shortcut to create a new folder

[Guest]

Microsft has been talking for quite sometime about creating a keyboard
shortcut to create a new folder - Alt + n, ctrl + n, etc. Has there been any
change in that? Have they finally broken new ground and created a hotkey
combination for creating that concept? At the moment, the user is required
to press 4 separate keys.
Can you help?

R-click desktop, Left click New folder.

ALT + F + W + F Will work from any folder, not from the Desktop.

Shift + F10 + W + F works from Desktop.

But is there no 2-stroke conbination for creating a new folder within
folders? I am constantly "nesting" new foldiers within folders (under "C"
drive" a folder called "All Clients", then within that folder, on a daily and
repetive basis. having to create a new subfolder with a new file number, then
another new subfolder inside that for a new client number, then another new
folder for a specific date of job. As you can see, a two-stroke key combo
would be a fabulous idea from Microsoft.
Is there such a thing now other than what you previously mentioned?

See Bob I's post.

To create a new folder
1. Open My Documents or any other folder.
2. Under File and Folder Tasks, click Make a new folder.
A new folder is displayed with the default name, New Folder, selected.

3. Type a name for the new folder, and then press ENTER.

You can also create a new folder by right-clicking a blank area in a folder
window or on the desktop, pointing to New and then clicking Folder.

Yes.
Go to the Kelly Korner link :
Download the Zip :
Extract the newfolder.vbs file:
Make a shortcut to the file on Desktop or Start menu :
Right click shortcut of file and assign a hotkey to it. Examples :
Any key on number pad, Fx keys, Ctrl + Alt + anykey, Ctrl + Shift + AnyKey

And if you want to use the same script for Desktop and Folders then use this :

set ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
ws.SendKeys " ^ +{F10}w~"

No.

The Print Screen key, is often abbreviated as Print Scrn.

Print Scrn key copies everything on your screen.

In Windows, the sole function of this key is to take a snapshot or picture
of your computer screen and copy it to the clipboard.

"Under earlier command-line based operating systems, this caused an exact
copy of the current screen output to be sent to the standard printer port,
usually LPT1. In essence, whatever was currently on the screen when the key
was pressed was printed."

Alt key+ Print Scrn key

[[Will take a screenshot of the currently selected window, not the entire
screen like the normal screenshot function. This allows you to target that
specific window that you have open and nothing else. No more cropping those
screenshots to grab the content you were after!]]

You have to paste the image in to Paint, Wordpad, Word or some other program
that will handle images.
