Create a folder in Windows Explorer involved Create Folder and Rename Folder (Windows will create a folder and default it's name to "New Folder", then we rename it)

Create a folder in Excel's Open Dialog Box involved Create Folder only (Excel will pop-up a Dialog for you to input the intended name of the new folder, then Windows create it)

Can create a folder in Windows Explorer follows the way in Office program?

It is because our network drive not allow Everyone Delete Folder permission, whenever anyone create a folder via Windows Explorer, the folder name will defaulted to "New Folder" and they are not able to rename it to the name they want (Rename Folder seems like requires Delete Folder permission), if they create a folder via Excel's Open Dialog Box, it will 100% fine. I can't allow Delete/Rename Folder permission but need to allow create folder with user's intended folder name, what do you think? Thanks!

That's strange. Usually the CREATOROWNER has full privileges, regardless of its container. Are you using Deny privileges?

If they're creating the folders from a specific location, you could create a script that'll prompt for the name, then make a folder biased on the input.
VBS would probably look like this:
On Error Resume Next
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateFolder InputBox("New Folder Name", NewFolder)

While CMD would look like:
SET /P Input=New Folder Name?
MD %Input%

Other than that, I guess they could make/rename the folder on their desktop, then move it over.

Actually the CREATOROWNER has No Privilages by default. The Administrator Owner (i.e. profile name of the creator has full access), unless they are not an administrator of the system. A lot of companies do not grant full admin rights to the end user.
