Windows shortcut to directly open a new folder in Windows Vista

Question

Is there any key to directly open a new folder in the Windows Vista? Unlike XP, Vista does not have any quicklaunch button on the side of the window.

What quick launch are you referring to? Do you mean the Windows Explorer sidebar?
