On windows 11, the document type I create the most through right click / new menu is the text document, Today, i click in a folder, and it is missing, and in its place was a bunch of open office document types !
Turns out to bring it back I have to put the following text in a .reg file and run it, then restart explorer or windows
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[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"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfilelegacy]
@="Text Document"
But now since I am here, I want to also add a new => html file to that very menu
1- Create a file called (template.html) ideally you would want to save it in %Allusersprofile%\Templates, in my case the explicit location would be “C:\ProgramData\Templates”, but you will probably get an access denied error, to spare you the hassle of working around that, you can simply create a new folder inside C:\ProgramData\ called ExtraTemplates and store the file there
Now, put the following in a reg file and run it
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\ShellNew]
"FileName"="%Allusersprofile%\ExtraTemplates\html.html"
Enjoy
