How To: Create A New Folder With A Keyboard Shortcut in Windows 7

win7newfolderhotkeyOne of the features I have always wanted in Windows is the ability to create a new folder with a keyboard shortcut.  This simple feature was available in my first operating system, Mac OS 7, and I’ve habitually tried it with every version of Windows I’ve used since.  Finally, Windows 7 contains this fantastic shortcut.

To create a new folder with a keyboard shortcut in Windows 7, press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
