With Resharper generate option (Alt+Insert), you can create a new folder from the solution explorer in Visual Studio. I always used this feature for some years. I click on an existing folder or at the root of a project and press 'Alt+Insert' and the last option is 'New Folder'. Today, one of my co-worker who have seen this feature on my computer just tried to reproduce the behavior on his computer but without success; the 'New folder' option is not visible. Is there any option in Resharper to be able to see this option in the generate popup?

Most likely keyboard shortcut got messed up. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard.

Search for Resharper_Generate command and assign your preferred shortcut key (alt + insert). That should do the trick.

The "New Folder" option only appears when the focus is on a folder or a project. If you display the menu on a file, it doesn't appear.
