Re-add "create new text file" to Windows 11 context menu
I have just upgraded to Windows 11 on my pc.
As a C++/cmake programmer, I constantly use the option "create new -> text file" on the context menu, but Windows 11 has removed this option.
Is there a way to get this option back, e.g via regedit, or some new tool?
Load up Regedit, and follow the below steps.
- Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID
- Right-click the folder and select
New
>Key
- Assign the name
{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
- Right-click the new key, and select
New
>Key
- Name it
InprocServer32
- Edit the
default
string inside theInprocServer32
key, and set the data to empty/null. - Reboot, and the context-menu should be available.
