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).
