    You are the MAN!

    I had the same problem with "Text Document" missing from the New menu. In my case, the Default value in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt had been changed. All I had to do to fix the problem was to change the Default value back to txtfile

    I know in XP that changing the file associations under HKEY_CURRENT_USER was optional, but I guess in Windows 7 it's mandatory.
    Thanks Semicharm!! I signed up on this site just to say thank you. I've been trying to solve this one for several weeks (on and off).

    The change of .txt registry key to default value of "txtfile" also worked for me.

    Here are the lines of a .reg file that will set this key:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]
    @="txtfile"

    (Attached is a downloadable .reg file containing those lines.)
    (Back up your registry before running any .reg file.)

    Many thanks for giving me the solution to this problem.

    I noticed that several people here experienced the problem after installing Dreamweaver which is obviously what caused my problem.

    One other problem that I've also noticed is that now when I try and open a new tab/window via a link in IE9 all I get is a blank page and wondered whether this is also connected?

    I say this because I recently commissioned two absolutely identical PC's one of which DID NOT get Dreamweaver installed on and this one is fine re Notepad and IE9.
