Right-click the ‘Shell’ key and select New>Key from the context menu.
Go to this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.
In the run box, enter regedit, and tap the Enter key.
We’re now ready to add a new entry to the registry for creating folders that are automatically named after the current date.
Select the format that separates the day, month, and year by a hyphen.
Select ‘Change date format’ at the bottom.
Open the Settings app (Win+I keyboard shortcut).
The slash in the date format prevents this trick from working. In order for this registry hack to work, you need modify the date format so that the individual items on the date are separated by a hyphen and not a slash. Again, we have to modify the registry so you will need admin rights for this. That said, there is a simple workaround if you want to create a new folder that is given the current date as a name. The one shortcoming the above method has is that you cannot set it up so that new folders are named after the current date.
The new folder will have the new default name.
Avoid using these characters in the name: \ / ? : * " > Folder.
Double-click it, and enter a new name.
Right-click the NameTemplate key, and select New>String Value.
Right-click the Explorer key and select New>Key from the context menu.
Select the NameTemplate key or if it isn’t present, check for a key called NamingTemplates.
Navigate to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer.
In the run box, enter: regedit and tap the Enter key.
Tap the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the Run box.
To change the default New Folder name on Windows 10, we will have to edit the Windows registry and to do that, you need admin rights. New Folder is a reasonable default name for a folder but if you need to use a different default folder name, you can change it by editing the Windows registry. The default name remains the same i.e., New Folder. When several new folders are created, and user does not change their name, a number is added to the end of each folder to differentiate it from the other. This is why there’s a default folder name. Users have the option to rename a new folder when it is created, or to name it later whenever they want but a folder cannot be nameless. New folders on Windows 10 are named ‘New Folder’ by default.
