    Hello artinusa, :)

    What location are you right clicking in?

    Some locations will only have the New -> Folder option.

    That's ok. What item's context menu did you want this on?

    For now, here's a Folder Options shortcut to help.

    No problem. You might see if using step 9 in the tutorial below can restore New -> Shortcut for you.

    Great news.

    It could be from a number of things. Possibly one of those all-in-one tweaking programs that may have a setting that removed it?
