No New Text Document with Right Click on Vista
One of the features I use frequently in XP is the Create New X feature with the right click within Explorer. Vista does not have the option to create a new text document.
I found a forum post over at vistax64.com that has a fix.
Open notepad (Windows + r, notepad, enter) and copy the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]
"Content Type"="text/plain"
"PerceivedType"="text"
@="txtfile"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\PersistentHandler]
@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew]
"ItemName"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,\
6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,\
00,6e,00,6f,00,74,00,65,00,70,00,61,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,2c,00,\
2d,00,34,00,37,00,30,00,00,00
"NullFile"=""
Save the file as add_new_doc.reg and double click the new registry file to install.
You will need to close all Explorer windows and reopen to see the change.
Well said
Really Good.
