What about that order:

Create New >
* Folder...
* File >  
* ----------------------
* Link to Location...
* Link to Application...
* Link to Device >

I would group all "Link to..." together (if user want to create a link
to a thing, he just have to scan 3 entries below the separator instead
of searching in the 3 entires mixed with other things).

It would also group "New Folder" and "New File" together, since they
both create new entities on the disk (ie. not links to
entities/objects...).

And then, "Link to Location..." in first in the "Link to..." group,
since it's the most used one, and it can either be a link to folder or
file (mostly), items that are above it.

The separator? Perhapse unneeded.

My two cents...

About the patch itself, please add mnemonics to the menu items:

Create &New >
* &Folder...
* F&ile >  
* ----------------------
* &Link to Location...
* Link to &Application...
* Link to &Device >
