MDFolder1.1

One of the fastest ways to access basic file management options in Windows is through the context menu. However, it might be a little time consuming with regular methods and this is where third-party enhancements come in handy. For instance, MDFolder comes as an alternative way to create new folders with custom name.

Lightweight and easy to use

The application comes in a lightweight package which doesn’t necessarily require installation. However, the provided executable has little to no use alone, and you need to right-click the INF file and install it for the application to properly integrate in your system.The default function is to create a new folder in the source of the executable, with a prompt which shows up to write down the folder name. Only two options are at your disposal, such as to confirm the new folder, and to drop all changes. A method to bypass this issue is to assign a hotkey command, but installing the INF is a better option.

Leaves more to be desired

With it properly deployed, a new context menu option appears, namely to create a new folder. However, there is already such an option, which has an impact on the overall practicality. The only difference here is that the name of the folder is written before the folder appears, which is a bit faster than the default method.You might need to restart your system so that the application can properly integrate into the context menu. Sadly, the core function is plain, with no possibility to create an entire structure from a single menu, so this only serves as an alternative to the default option.

A few last words

To sum it up, MDFolder comes with good intentions, but the lack of updates for some time has a considerable impact on overall practicality. Sure enough it comes as a pretty good alternative to the default method, but it could have used at least an extended set of options to create more than one directory through the trigger of an option.
