    You can read the tips in that PC World article, but if you're like me and know just enough about computers to be dangerous, but not enough dealing with the real technical stuff, the easiest way to do it is to make a new folder, then click anywhere in the window to verify you want to name the folder "New Folder." Click on it once to select it, then press the "Ctrl" key and "C" to copy it, then "Ctrl" and "V" to paste it. The copy will read "Copy of New Folder." Keep pressing "Ctrl" and "V" until you get the number of folders you want. Each one will be labeled as "Copy of New Folder (#)" where "#" is a numbered copy. Right-click on each one individually and rename them with whatever you want to rename them. You can do this for any sub-folders you create as well.

    Your best bet is downloading mdAxelerator, lets you assign your own shortcut for creating a new folder.
