  1. just right click and new in right menu and folder


  2. just drag the in to new folder

  3. This has to be done in an elaborate way but its easy.

    First create a blank file through the application whose filetype you want to add in the right click menu.Save it in the C:\Windows\ShellNew folder with any name.

    Then Go to START-->RUN   type REGEDIT

    here u ll find a folder named "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"

    click on the '+' sign to its left. You will have a long list of all extensions available in your system. Select the extension of your file( For example if you want a photoshop file, Your extension is .psd). Once you have selected your extension,  right click on that and click on New--> Key.  This will get you a new key. Rename it to "ShellNew". Right click on "ShellNew" and select New-->String Value. This will create a new string value on the right pane.

    Rename that string value as "FileName". Double click on this and change the Value Data to the path and the filename

    (Eg: C:\Windows\ShellNew\new.psd). Click OK and press F5. U r Done. Restart ur system to see your new enlisted item....
