Problem in Windows Explorer creating a New Folder

[Wild Bill 2]

Running Win XP SP2 and I have a problem in Windows Explorer. I use to
be able to highlight a Folder > File >New and to the right would be
Folder and when I clicked on that I could create a new Folder and Name
it.

Now, I don't know how or why< when I click on File > New > there is a
new object with a little box with the shortcut arrow in it and the
word Shortcut. I can't move my cursor to the Folder icon which is just
above the Shortcut.

Any way I can get rid of the icon for Shortcut and be able to get to
the Folder icon.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much.

I'll try this.

I did learn that I can right click in the work area it brings up a
menu that has Folder in it. So I can work around this and may even
like this better.

Thanks.
