Shortcut Key to Create New Folder?

Is there a shortcut keystroke that will create a New Folder on my desktop when no folders are open, without having to right-click with the mouse to open the “New” dialog box? I know the shortcut key once I have right-clicked but wish I could eliminate needing to take my hands off the keyboard altogehter! Assigning shortcut keys to open all other programs is a cinch but I can’t figure this one out. Thanks
