Where is my New Folder option?

I bought and dowloaded Lion, but I noticed that I can no longer select New Folder in the Finder File Menu. The only option I can select is New Smart Folder. Does anyone know why this change occurred and how I can create a New Folder that is not a Smart Folder?


Thanks,

Try Shift+command+N keys in Finder. That will create a new folder (not a smart one)

Thanks ckuan.

I found my 'operator error'. I hadn't noticed that when I opened Finder it automatically opens at the top of the list which now is headed by All My Files instead of Desktop. As soon as I selected Desktop the New Folder option became available.


I'm not sure, but I think the change in my Favorites List is a result of Lion as I don't recall seeing All My Files or Air Drop in the list previously.


Thanks for the shortcut.
