First or all, there is no System Procedure folder, really. That is
just a visualization in Mgmt Studio.
Users are indeed permitted to create objects in the master database
if they have permissions. And, assuming that you have SQL Express on
your own machine, you presumably belong to BUILTIN\Administrators on
the box, and thus you have sysadmin when you log in with Windows
Authentication. And then you may indeed create procedures in the master
database.
Mgmt Studio has a dropdown which tells you the current database, and
this also displays on the tab, although it may be compressed. The Object
Explorer is not related to the query window.
