Since the first day using Windows Vista I am not able to make new folders.
Let us say I am working in a folder for pictures, I try to make a new one for
several pictures I am not able to get that meny.
I press right mouse botten and thereafter I choose "New"
I then get this alternative: Translated from Norwegian)

Shortway
Windows bitmap picture

Microsoft Office Word-document
Journal document
Microsoft Office PowerPoint-presentation
Text-document
Microsoft Office Exel-spreadsheet

Not any proposal for making a FOLDER

I have read and done what Microsoft says at this URL
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180257
This strin was correct:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\
(Default)
Value for (Default):
{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}


I have tried the same from the desktop. The same result here.
Do you have a suggestion what to do?
 
In an explorer (folder) window, when you click organize menu button (top
left button) is "new folder" listed as first item? If not, and you can not
get one with right-click, your registry needs to be fixed. I'm unable to
help you with that now, but someone else might.

To work around the problem for now, you can copy an existing folder, paste
it, delete the contents, and rename it.
