    Restore Missing New “Folder” to the Desktop Right-Click menu

    When you right-click an empty area on the desktop, the “New” menu that appears may not contain the “Folder” entry. Also, when attempting to create a folder by clicking the “New Folder” toolbar button in a folder or by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + N keys, nothing may happen.

    You cannot create a new folder if the “Folder” registry entries are missing. This post explains how to fix the problem.
    Restore New “Folder” option to the right-click menu


    You can restore the “Folder” entry in the “New” menu using the following procedure:

    1. Start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
    2. Navigate to the following location:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder
    3. In the right-pane, double-click (default) and set its data to Folder
    4. Exit the Registry Editor.
    5. Log off and log back in.

    You should now be able to create new folders via the right-click menu, Ctrl + Shift + N keystroke, or via File Explorer ribbon.
