Hi, Newbie here. Have been stuck to this thread for a few weeks now Following the advice here, I tried to create a ShellNew Windows NT Command script, but for some reason it doesn't work. Any ideas what I could have gone and done wrong? Situation: I had created the nullfile value and the beautiful words popped up when i right clicked new menu. Then later on I read down the page, and decided to try the data values. So, my itchy hands added in the data value, and behold, the thing's gone. Here is my ShellNew code: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cmd] @="cmdfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cmd\PersistentHandler] @="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cmd\ShellNew] "NullFile"="" "Data"=hex:40,45,43,48,4f,20,4f,46,46,0d,0a Note: I also messed around with opening cmd files by notepad by default. Could this have messed it up? This's the code for that. ;Open Windows NT Command Script (.cmd) with Notepad by default - do not run [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell] @="Edit" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\Execute] "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\Execute\command] @="\"%1\" %*" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open] Sorry for the long post!
