Add item in 'New'

Hi,

You know when u right click anywhere on the desktop, a popup menu popups and and when you select 'New' there, you can create certain new files? I, dunno why, i am missing the 'Text File' option in 'New'. So can anyone tell me how i can add that back and how to add other custom file types???

many thanx~!

Go into the registry and open up the path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Now, choose a file extension (say .txt). Add a folder called .txt (or whatever your extension name is). Now set the (default) value of the folder to a unique key, e.g: "MyApp.MyDocument" (Window's uses txtfile for a text document).

Now create another folder with the name of the unique key, and set the (default) value to whatever you want to appear in the Explorer context menu.

yep, but pls tell me what unique key should i put?

thanx

Megatron we can add our program with that ?

iflash: Put whatever you want for your own application. For a text file, it's good (but not mandatory) to use the default one for a text file, which is txtfile.

DaoK: Yes.
