Add a "New Folder" Button to Windows Explorer

At last! With BxNewFolder, the smart folks at Baxbex Software have added to Windows Explorer's toolbar a much-needed button for creating a new subfolder of the folder currently selected. Just click the button and a dialog box appears, prompting you for the folder's new name. Don't like switching from mouse to keyboard? Press F12 to open the dialog box, type the new name, and press Enter to add your folder. (Or press Shift-Enter to finish naming the folder and navigate to it in one step.) To top it off, BxNewFolder is free for home use. What's not to like?

Get "New Folder" Button on Windows Explorer Toolbar in XP:

- Updated (Patch for Baxbex New Folder):
Since Baxbex New Folder only has "old Windows 98" icon for new folder button: see http://www.baxbex.com/images/shoots/bxnewfolder.html , as you can see, it doesn't look good / matching with new XP or Vista visual style. If you already have standard/original Baxbex New Folder application installed ( http://www.baxbex.com/ ), then you can also just download this smaller patch to easily get the Vista style icon for Baxbex New Folder as i said before (to patch bxNewFolder.dll file easily and safely):

All credits to Baxbex for the nice freeware.

Hope that it would be useful, especially for XP users. Anyway good luck...
