My Solution:

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt with regedit

Right click on (Default) and click Modify.

Enter "txtfile" for the value without the quotes.

I think it was due to another program that took control of txt files that
caused this problem.

another way I can get it back?

Hi dzomlija,

Someone in the Vista newsgroups posted that the "Templates" function of
TweakUI (for WinXP) runs fine under Vista, if run in XP Compatibility
mode.

In case you want to remove it manually, see:

Add or remove entries in the New objects list (ShellNew):
'Add or remove entries in the New objects list (ShellNew)'
(http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shellnew.htm)



Bingo! Thanks Ramesh, the method described in the link you gave worked
perfectly! Gimme a couple of weeks (assuming I can find the time to do
so and if I can remember) and I'll try to put together a utility for
Vista to make the job easier.
