shortcut to create a text document. Where does Windows get this information and how can I get it back? --Bruce |

Lost 'new text document' shortcut
Bruce,
Windows gets this information from the .txt file class data. Try this: Click Start, type: cmd /k reg query hkcr\.txt /s and press {ENTER} Copy the output and post it here. The "ShellNew" key must exist in order for the "New Text Document" entry to show-up in the New menu. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "bvandew" wrote in message ...

Lost 'new text document' shortcut
Ramesh, how do I _remove_ items from the "Right-Click"-"New"-"File Type" Context Menu? By this I mean I only want to have maybe "Text Document" and "Contact". I want to remove all others from the list. -- dzomlija ____________________________________ Peter Alexander Dzomlija Do you hear, huh? The Alpha and The Omega?

Strike above post -- I did not realize this was underVISTA catagory.
I was able to fix this in XP by going to a machine that had the right-click context entry.
Exported the registry entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt and copied it to my computer. Then exported mine(AS a backup and then deleted the entry. Ran the .reg file created from the other computer and it is now working again. EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com |

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): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/shellnew.htm -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "dzomlija" wrote in message ...

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. -- dzomlija ____________________________________ Peter Alexander Dzomlija Do you hear, huh?
