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.

Check to ensure you don't have any software installed that may be overriding the hotkey, such as AutoHotkey.
