Customizing your Context Menu (right-click) can make life easier. In this tutorial, we show you how to move the New Folder context menu entry to the New context menu foldout to free up some space.

If you don't use New Folder often, moving to the New subfolder can free up a little space for more important things, while still having the New Folder option available.

Here's the before and after:

Download the registry files from MajorGeeks and extract the two files:

Remove New Folder Context Menu.reg
Remove Rotate Right Left Context Menu.reg

Double-click the reg file to add or remove the New Folder.

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.

Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.

No reboot is required.
