    Text file type doesn't show when right clicking

    When I right click on the desktop or anywhere inside a folder , it doesn't show Text File type after choosing New menuitem.Is there a fix for this? I'm sure it has to do with the registry . I checked it though but no errors found.

    Thanks

    Here's how:
    1) Open Notepad and enter in the following line:
    dir /a /-p /o:gen >Contents.txt

    2)Use "Save as" and save the file as "filelist.bat" (Again, don't forget the inverted commas! ) Save the file in the WINDOWS folder
    3) Open Windows Explorer (Winkey+E) and go to Tools>Folder Options and click the File Types tab
    4) Choose "Folder" and click the "Advanced" button
    5) Click the "New..." button and in the "Action" box type in Create File List Here. For the application used to perform the action browse and find the file you just created (filelist.bat) and click OK

    You're all set! All you gotta do is right click a folder and select "Create File List Here". When you go into the folder, you should see a file Contents.txt with all the files/subfolders and their attributes. You can always print Contents.txt if you like
    I havent tried it, but it looks like what you want
