Userful information but not what I am after. When I right click in Explorer
there are two 'Open' icons, but only one works. So something has changed
here. I have not been able to find out how to fix this either, the
ShellExView program is interesting - but not helpful as of yet.

The problem I asked for help is how to restore the abilty to create a new
folder while in Explorer (I can create a folder from the command prompt).

Generally, to create a folder, this is not a right click option, never was.
This is normally done under the menu opens --> 'Alt-File-New-Folder'. This
has been removed completely from the menu. The 'New' menu was also able to
create new files (or shortcuts) based on extension, which is also lost. Not
as useful an option to me, but obviously part of the same problem.

Maybe this one is what you need:

http://aumha.org/regfiles.php#new

It adds the following to the registry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New]
@="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"
