NewFolder Right-Click option

Add a "New Folder" option to the top of right-click context menu when clicking on any empty space in a folder or on the desktop.

This new option allows you to create a new folder directly in the clicked location with an automatically assigned unique name (e.g., "New Folder", "New Folder 1", etc.).

The bat file should be extracted to a Windows folder on system and then a registry entry should be added in order to appear on each file right click. The zip contains four files:

1. The actual batch file which is triggered to create a folder (NewFolder.bat).
2. A registry merge file that helps add the necessary entries to the registry (NewFolder.reg)
3. A batch file to install automatically the script (AutoInstall.bat)

Automatic Installation (Recommended)

1. Download the release package https://github.com/limbo666/NewFolder_RightClick/releases .
2. Extract the files to a folder of your choice. Inside, you’ll find three files: AutoInstall.bat, NewFolder.bat, and NewFolder.reg.
3. Right-click on AutoInstall.bat and choose Run as Administrator to ensure proper access to the Windows directory and registry. The script will automatically copy the NewFolder.bat to the C:\Windows directory and merge the registry entries from NewFolder.reg to add the context menu option.
