Windows 7 - Context Menu Items keep disappearing?

I found all of a sudden I had lost the function to Right click on a Folder and Select "NEW" Text Document. So I googled it and landed up here and found some .reg files to restore the .txt option in the Context menu and ran it and it worked - Great Stuff!. Till the following day, then it was gone again?? I tried running the .reg again but this time it didn't do anything.

I like trying out all sorts of Programs and open source stuff but with the result I end up reloading Windows every 6 months and I have a shed load of stuff on this small business PC of mine and don't really want to do it again for a while. (Yes I have Daily and Weekly Backups on a 3Tb Drive but it's a lot of work to restore it all)

Any and all suggestions welcome

Hello Mtech, and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'm not sure which one you tried here, so you might see if using the download (step 9) in the tutorial below may be able to help.

If not, then try the .txt download in this tutorial.

Hope this helps,
