Dear All,

I'm looking to add "Notepad text file" to my Right-Click | New menu. I
already have a couple of other file-types in there so managed to find what I
presume is the right place to create the registry key, in
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Discardable/PostSetup/ShellNew

All I really need to know is what's the correct Binary Value for a Key to
create a blank txt file in Notepad? I haven't even the foggiest idea how to
even begin to match or map Binary values with Windows commands!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Notepad\Command]
@="C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe %1"
remove %1 to get a blank

Under the right click new, Notepad txt document should already be there.
