Introduction

NewFolder is the easy and effective solution if you want to create a complete set of folders without the annoying way through the Explorer menus. NewFolder is accessible as a stand-alone utility from the Start Menu or from the context menu of all drives and directories.

•	NewFolder creates up to seven mainfolders, each with up to three subfolders (look at Tips & Tricks if you want to create more subfolders).

•	NewFolder creates up to 99 sequential folders like disk1, disk2, disk3, ... with the parameters [#n] or [#nn]. "n" resp. "nn" is the number of folders you want to create (n = 1 - 9; nn = 01 - 99).

•	NewFolder checks your input for invalid folder-names.

•	NewFolder checks your input for double folder-names (can be disabled for the "Main folders"-frame).

•	NewFolder informs you about already existing folders on your hard-disk (can be disabled).

•	NewFolder forces an Explorer refresh when your set of folders has been created (can be disabled). (More ...)

•	NewFolder sets the focus (in "Explorer view" only) to the directory under which your set of folders has been created (can be disabled). This feature is not available for Win98. (More ...)

•	NewFolder activates Explorer when it is not already running (can be disabled). (More ...)

•	NewFolder saves your specified default-settings (and restores NewFolder's default settings if necessary).

•	NewFolder offers a "Tools"-menu to start "Defrag", "Explorer", "Registry Editor", "ScanDisk", "Copy-" and "Format Disk" and nearly all "Control Panel" Items. ("Defrag" and "ScanDisk" are not available for NT.)

•	NewFolder displays the current date and/or time in its window caption (can be disabled).

•	NewFolder ...

Tips & Tricks

-	To create more than three subfolders under a mainfolder, type the same folder-name in multiple Boxes and uncheck (optional):

-	"Check "Main folders" for double folder-names."

-	"Inform about already existing folders on disk."

This allows you to create e.g.:

-	one mainfolder with twenty-one subfolders or:

-	two mainfolders with ten subfolders for the first and eleven subfolders for the second or:

-	...

-	To refresh Explorer and set the focus to a specified directory (e.g. to check if there are already existing subfolders), choose the path and click OK without typing any folder-names.

New Versions / Updates

You can download new Demo-Versions from:

http://www.neuss.netsurf.de/~sonderma/newfolder.html

Full-versions and their updates will be send to registered users via e-mail.


Install / Uninstall

Install

1.	Extract folder32.zip to a folder of your choice, but choose a folder with a short name (not more than eight characters).

2.	Right-click on folder32.inf, choose "Install".

3.	Delete the extracted files.

For updates:	You can install this version above older 2.xx versions.

If you want to update a 1.xx version, it is recommended, but not necessary, to uninstall the older version as described in the ReadMe which belongs to the specific version. Otherwise you will get two separate program installations.

Additional files:	NewFolder requires some additional system files. If you don't find them in your system-directory (e.g. c:\windows\system), you can download the files:

- msvcrt40.dll - olepro32.dll - vb40032.dll - ven2232.olb -   (zipped 615 KB)   from:

http://www.neuss.netsurf.de/~sonderma/download/VBRun4_32.zip or

http://www.crosswinds.net/berlin/~rso/download/VBRun4_32.zip

After download, extract the missing files to your system-directory (e.g. c:\windows\system).

Windows 98:	It is necessary that Explorer displays the full path in the title bar:

1.	Open Windows Explorer

2.	Select "Folder Options" from the "View" Menu

3.	Click on the "View" tab

4.	Check "Display the full path in title bar"

Uninstall

Use "Add/Remove Programs" in "Control Panel" (search for NewFolder).


Main folders-Frame

Folders, which will be created under the path and folder displayed in the "Path-Box".


Sub folders-Frame

Folders, which will be created under the folders displayed in the corresponding mainfolder-Boxes.

If you want to create more than three subfolders under one mainfolder, type the same folder-name in multiple mainfolder-Boxes and uncheck (optional):

-	"Check "Main folders" for double folder-names."

-	"Inform about already existing folders on disk."


Exit NewFolder when ready.

When checked, NewFolder will be closed after all folders have been created.

(default checked)


Clear folder-names when ready.

When checked, NewFolder will delete all folder-names in mainfolder- or subfolder-Boxes after the folders have been created. You can also use the "Clear"-Button.

(enabled when "Exit NewFolder when ready" is unchecked)

(default unchecked)


Check "Main folders" for double folder-names.

When checked, NewFolder searches for double folder-names in the "Main folders"-Frame after you have clicked the "OK"-Button. Uncheck this CheckBox e.g. to avoid the error messages you will receive if you want to create more than three subfolders under one mainfolder.

(default checked)


Inform about already existing folders on disk.

When checked, NewFolder informs about already existing folders on your hard-disk. Uncheck this CheckBox e.g. to avoid the error messages you will receive if you want to create more than three subfolders under one mainfolder.

(default checked)


Path-Box

This Box displays the path and folder to which all your sub - or mainfolders will be added. You can change the path or folder manual or by using the "..."-Button.


Path-Button (...)

Use this Button to change the path or folder displayed in the "Path-Box".


Help-Button (?)

This Button can also be used to get Help when NewFolder is running.
