Looks like Internet Explorer IE7 or IE8 is blocking bxNewfolder. I just went to Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer and enabled it.

Hope this helps

baxbex newfolder looks very ugly on XP. Seriously lol what the hell do you guys expect? Just look at the webview panel (common task pane) in XP Explorer, there’s already “Make a New Folder” button. Even it’s already placed on Windows 7 RTM’s toolbar by default.

Hey DC – Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same thing – bxNewFolder not working on XPSP3. Very annoying.

Thanks – Eliot

I’ve been having that same problem for months now, since I updated to XPSP3. I even did a registry clean and reinstalled; but nothing.

Anybody else have a problem with bxNewFolder not working on XPSP3?

I installed it and can’t find the button anywhere. My Windows Explorer/My Computer toolbar is customized, so I guess that could have something to do with it, but it’s all been done through the built-in “Customize…” gui. No hacks or anything.

I would think it would just add the button as an option in the “Customize…” dialog, but I see nothing. Anyone else?

I’ve always thought it was pretty dumb that this functionality wasn’t built into Windows to begin with. There’s even a “New Folder” button in most “Save As…” dialogs… but not in Windows Explorer? Come on MS.
