    I may not be in the right forum. If I am not don't flame me as I don't know much about scripting or any coding for that matter. Here is my problem.
    I created a regfile that modified the context menu so that I could just make one click to create a folder. It worked very well in XP but now that I have changed to Windows 7 it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the contents of the reg file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CmdHere]
    @="Create Pics"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CmdHere\Command]
    @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /c md Pics \"%1\""
