^^ In Windows Vista and later, such kind of information are stored in MUI files which are present in "Windows\System32\en-US" folder.

Instead of editing shell32.dll you can install new-ext shell extension from http://szsoftware.org/new-ext.
This extension allows to modify the default folder/file name. It also makes it possible to use current date/time in the default folder/file name.
And it also puts you in control where do you see the commands for new folder/file. You may put these commands into "New" submenu or on the top level of the context menu

Dear Vishal, Can you tell me that how can I add "Create New Folder" command in context menu not in "New" sub menu. Like whenever I right-click, it will show a "Create New Folder" option. Kishan Bagaria
