How can I add item in desktop menu/new file (right click on desktop)?

windows-7

Solution

Detailing:

- Go to regedit

- Open "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"

- Find '.txt' and click on it

- Check if "(Default)" "Data" value is "textfile", if not, set it to "textfile"

- Check if "ShellNew" path exists in '.txt', if not, create it

- Check if "NullFile" string value exists in "ShellNew", if not, create it

- Find 'textfile' on "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" , if not exists, create it and set "(Default)" "Data" value to "Text Document" or other than you prefer

- Go to desktop / right mouse click / Refresh to see your new item in 'New' list

Basically 4 things are needed:

- .txt path with default value set as 'textfile'

- ShellNew path into .txt path

- 'NullFile' string value into ShellNew with no data

- textfile path with default value as the description of file

Problem

I want to create new TXT file, but for some reason TXT file do not appears anymore when I click with right button on desktop, and go to 'NEW' (list of file types to create).
