Or just use the command prompt like diggrd suggested

The command for creating a directory is md (short for make directory I guess) so "md .something" does the job.

Code:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\k>md .something

C:\Documents and Settings\k>dir
 Volume in drive C is C-WinXP
 Volume Serial Number is A48D-90D5

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\k

09.02.2005  14:56    <DIR>          .
09.02.2005  14:56    <DIR>          ..
09.02.2005  14:56    <DIR>          .something
08.02.2005  20:46    <DIR>          Desktop
