To add file types to the New menu item on the mouse menu you must edit the Registry. First, find the extension of the data file for the program in question
(i.e. .doc for Word) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Below the files extension you need to add a new key with the value 'ShellNew'.
Once that key is in place you have two options: One is to start with a null file
(one with no preset styles, etc.), the other is to start from a template file.
For a null file, in the ShellNew key insert a new string value named 'NullFile' and
leave the value blank. To use a template file, insert a new string value named 'filename' and set the value equal to the path of the template document. The default is in the hidden ShellNew directory beneath your windows directory.
When you use the New feature of the button menu, Win95 either copies the template file or creates a null file. |
