Dear All,

I'm looking to add "Notepad text file" to my Right-Click | New menu. I
already have a couple of other file-types in there so managed to find what I
presume is the right place to create the registry key, in
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Discardable/PostSetup/ShellNew

All I really need to know is what's the correct Binary Value for a Key to
create a blank txt file in Notepad? I haven't even the foggiest idea how to
even begin to match or map Binary values with Windows commands!
 
Matt,

Get the .TXT fle association fix from here:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

The "New Text Document" entry will be added automatically under the New menu
(shellnew). OTOH, if you want to do it manually, see the following page:

Add items to the New menu (aka ShellNew entries):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Notepad\Command]
@="C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe %1"
remove %1 to get a blank
 
Try using Windows TweakUI Template option.

Under the right click new, Notepad txt document should already be there.
