How can i add WordPad in right click/new....?

 

[Prisoner]

I think I can tell you how to add it to the right click menu (not in new though), if that's alright.

I want to add the WordPad.

Panais,

WordPad saves it's files as a Rich Text Format (RTF) document. Adding the option above to the New - context menu items will open WordPad with a new empty RTF document.

I have done that but...
Everything else works fine except this

I'm not sure what is wrong. You will need to do all of step 14 and click on Yes for the prompts to approve merging the REG file to add it.

Is not working

-sigh- Yes, it has worked. Make sure to read the dialog boxes next time. It says that it was successful. Now you can right click, go into new, and it will be in there.

Panais,

These are not error messages indicating that it has not worked. They are approval messages for you to allow the REG file to be merged instead. Once you click OK on that last one, do as Prisoner posted above to see of you have Rich Text Document in the NEW context menu now.

If you still do not, then do you have Office Word installed? If so, then this will not work since Office Word takes over as the default program for RTF files (rich text documents).

1. Use the Start menu’s Run option to launch Regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*. (This should be the very first subtree.)
3. A key called "shellex" should already be here. Add a new key called "Shell" at the same tree level as "shellex."
4. Under the "Shell" key, create another key called "WordPad."
5. Create another key under the "WordPad" key called "Command."
6. You'll see a string value named Default when you highlight the "Command" key. Double-click Default and enter "C:\Program Files\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE %1". (Note: Don’t enter the quotes, and make sure to use the appropriate path to the file wordpad.exe.) Click OK.
7. Exit Regedit and test it out.

NOTE :

The full path to the correct Registry key is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Wordpad\Command

Hello panais;

I guess none of the suggestions above were what you wanted? Well ... would it work if you could open all new Text documents with WordPad instead of NotePad?

If you don't mind, could post a screen shot of your Context Menu:



Thanks

Hello Panais,

I don't know if you ever got this resolved yet either, but you might also try the RTF download in the tutorial below to restore all of it's default associations to see if you may have Rich Text Document in the NEW context menu afterwards.

You're most welcome Panais. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted for the RTF New context menu item.

The other question should be posted in a new thread though to get the most help with it.
