OK, so is this a new feature of Win10?
If I understood the initial message right, sitting Windows Explorer, you should be able to press Alt-2, and get the creation of a new folder. I tried with my Win7 system, just for the fun of it. Went to Windows Explorer, hit Alt-2, and a little later Google Chrome opened. I thought that was strange enough, but decided to explore what would happen if I pressed Alt-3. Guess what, Google Chrome came up once again. I now decided to test the alternativ that was mentioned, Ctrl-Shif-N, in my Windows Explorer. To disappoint any Win7 users, it generated no action at all. I know, this was a Win10 question, and hope not to put anyone off track. Just thought how strange it is, that not only does it seem to be different from one system to the other, but even might generate different results from one Operativ System to the next one. Yet another challenge, when developers are not too consistent with their hotkeys. Particularly as menu and ribbon navigation increasingly becomes more of a job.
