Adding to or modifying desktop new list
That's a nice utility. Strange thing though, I works on everything except
Notepad. I was missing a Notepad.txt file in the Templates folder and added one, but still the same problem. Anymore ideas? Or does anyone know where the "new" items are stored? Possibly in the registry? Thanks Terry "Olórin" wrote: "T.Moore" wrote in message ...

Hi Terry,
The "Text Document" entry is listed by default in the "New" menu in Windows XP. If it's missing in your system, download and run the TXT association fix from he http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm See also: Add or remove entries in the New objects list (ShellNew): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shellnew.htm -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog Windows® Troubleshooting: http://www.winhelponline.com "T.Moore" wrote in message news  That's a nice utility.

Thanks Ramesh. ShellNew in the registry was the problem. I had a corrupted
entry. Thanks again, Terry "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: Hi Terry, The "Text Document" entry is listed by default in the "New" menu in Windows XP.
