Why don't you keep a Notepad or Wordpad shortcut in your taskbar. Then it is always accessible. I prefer Wordpad for occasional text storage.

even if i do keep it, it takes type to save as, and save it to where i want. i could just create a new notepad document there and save it there just by hitting ctrl+s

You can add it to the start menu by right clicking notepad, and add it to the start menu, or add it to the taskbar as suggested earlier.

It didn't put Text Document back in your new menu?

Try step 16:

16. Sometimes it may take a moment before the missing New context menu item to reappear. If not, then restart the computer to apply.

Hello Rishab,

If the above still doesn't help, then you might see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed txt option in the tutorial below. It will restore the default associations for .txt (text) files to be opened by Notepad and hopefully sort this as well if it's an association issue.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
