===== Windows 11: Restore 'New Test Document' to context menu ===== Sometime in March 2023, the option to create a new text document disappeared from the Windows 11 context menu (//Right Click Menu//). Here's one way to replace it that I know works as of 2023/04/06. (First backup the Registry.;-)) - Open regedit.exe - Expand ''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT'' and look for a ''.txt'' key. If none exist, create one. - Within the ''.txt'' key, create two new Strings: ''Content Type'' and ''PerceivedType''. - (Right click) Modify... and the value for ''Default'' should be ''txtfile''. - (Right click) Modify... and the value for ''Content Type'' should be ''text/plain''. - (Right click) Modify... and the value for ''PerceivedType'' should be ''text''. - Create a new key with the name ''ShellNew'' within the ''.txt'' key. - Within the ''ShellNew'' key, create a new **String** with the name ''NullFile''. - Within the ''ShellNew'' key, create a new **Expandable String Value** with the name ''ItemName''. - (Right click) Modify... and the value for ''ItemName'' should be ''@%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe,-470''
