Solution for Missing "New Text Document" in Right-Click Menu

Click Start menu, select Run, type notepad.exe and press Enter. Save the following content into Notepad (just copy it). Copy the content within the dividing lines, don’t include the lines themselves.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]

@="txtfile"

"Content Type"="text/plain"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew]

"NullFile"=""

10
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile]
11
@="Text Document"

13
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell]
14

15
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open]
16

17
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open\command]
18
@="NOTEPAD.EXE %1"

Then save it, change the extension from *.TXT to *.reg. Double-click to import into the registry, and that’s it (you can name the file anything before .reg, but the extension must be .reg).
