Hi Buggs,
Open Regedit and navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew In the right-pane, create a new REG_SZ value named "NullFile" More Information: Add items to the New menu (aka ShellNew entries): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shellnewadd.htm http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shellnew.htm -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Buggs Bunny" wrote in message news When I right click on desktop and go to 'new' I get folder/shortcut etc but 'new text document' (notepad) used to be in this submenu, it dissapeared.
