There is no easy way to quickly create multiple folders.  Using the mouse requires a click on the New sub-menu and then selecting Folder from a long list of possibilities.  If you need to create multiple folders, it’s too slow.

Since the ’80s, the quickest way to make a folder utilizes the MD command.

md folder1
md folder2
md folder3

But the MD command requires the command prompt.  Before this short-cut, getting to the command prompt in a deep folder required a lot of typing. 

1 – go to the command prompt
2 – change to the desired drive
3 - CD to the correct folder

In Vista, a new Shift-Right-Click item has been added to Explorer.  From any folder a shift-right-click will give the option to open a command prompt in the current folder.

I started making a list of things in Vista that I like, but aren’t available in XP.  The list is short.

1 – Search-able Start Button – I use this at least fifty times a day.

2 – The user directory structure - I like the fact that all the “My This”, “My That” folders are gone.  Now it’s all in a directory called “Users” instead of the ridiculously named “Documents and Settings”.

Beyond this, I can’t think of anything else that benefits me.  Am I missing something?
