I don't know, why this happens, but when I want to create a new folder (Win 7), I press Ctrl + Shift + N. It used to work before, but now, the shortcut seems to have been overridden. It launches the default browser with the text on the clipboard as the url. How do I fix this?
EDIT: Fixed it. I noticed that ClipX was assigning a hotkey.

I had the exact same problem. Ctrl+Shift+N should create a new folder, but instead was opening a browser and pasting the clipboard. I realized it was being used by ClipX for navigtation. ClipX is a clipboard history application. You can right-click the ClipX icon in the tray and choose Configure. In the resulting window you can change that shortcut key association.
2Use ActiveHotkeys application , which will show you the current active hotkeys.
Check to ensure you don't have any software installed that may be overriding the hotkey, such as AutoHotkey.
"control + shift + N" is system hotkey for opening 'Notepad'. This changes were made to my windows 10 somehow. Remove this hotkey using any hotkey application. This will release the shortcut to be used inside chrome.
