[Help] Adding more document templates

[Martijn]

Hi all,

I'm a experienced PHP language coder and I would like to add it to my right click menu "New >" as a document template.

Currently I go to this menu, whenever I want to create a new .php file, click the Text Document -template and rename its extension from .txt to .php. I don't like this way of working and was wondering if someone knows how to add more filetypes to this menu.

Thanks in advance!

I can help you if you do the following:

Copy & Paste the following line into your Run box

%comspec% /c >"%userprofile%\desktop\php_reg.txt" reg query HKCR\.php /s

open the php_reg.txt file on your desktop and copy & paste its contents here.

Cleaned, I have posted very wrong solution

[Yzöwl]

I've no intention of doing anything complex, and other than the little piece of information I have requested from the questioner, neither will they. I will do everything other than download and double click using just this information.

[Martijn]

I did both suggestions (thanks for the quick replies btw ) but Sonic's one requires a restart I assume?

Here is the code requested by Yzöwl:

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php
	<NO NAME>	REG_SZ	php_auto_file

[Yzöwl]

Double click this SFX.

You should find the new entry after either a reboot or ending /restarting explorer.exe.

Auto slap me x10 !

You are right Yzöwl, I have answer too fast, I havn't checked the result.

Moreover I have myself a regfile to delete/custom this menu !!!

Btw, you can just try two times the "new" menu to look if new items are present.

[Martijn]

Thanks alot! I will try this when I come home

[Martijn]

I just tried it and it works excellent!

Thanks a lot guys!

Another question, the menu itself, I like to delete a few filetypes from the list. I think Sonic knows how to do this?

[Sonic]

Exaclty what I custom for this new menu, put the content into a new reg file. Sure you can adjust that to your needs.

I made a VBS script that removes some of the templates context menu stuff. This removes the briefcase, bmp, doc, ppt, PspImage new templates

On Error Resume Next 
  Dim Act, DelReg, Fso, StrDel
  Set Act = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'/-> ARRAY FOR WHAT TO GETS DELETED
  DelReg = Array( "HKCR\.bfc\ShellNew\Config\",_
				  "HKCR\.bfc\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.bmp\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.doc\Word.Document.6\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.doc\Word.Document.8\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.doc\WordDocument\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.doc\WordPad.Document.1\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.ppt\PowerPoint.Show.4\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.ppt\PowerPoint.Show.8\ShellNew\",_
				  "HKCR\.PspImage\PaintShopPro9.Image\ShellNew\")
'/-> LOOP THAT DELETES THE REG ENTRIES		   
   For Each StrDel In DelReg
	Act.RegDelete StrDel
   Next 
'/-> COMPLETED MESSAGE 
	Act.Popup "Completed Cleaning up the right click context menu", 4, "Clean Up Context menu", 0 + 32
'/-> DELETES THE VBS FILE
	Fso.DeleteFile("CleanUpContextMenu.vbs")

Link to SFX file of above script

If you would like a quick list of the ones you have on your machine, run the following batch file, open the reg file it produces in the same location, remove the commenting symbol from the pertinent lines and double click the reg file to merge and remove them.

@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
>NewFiles.reg ECHO REGEDIT4
>>NewFiles.reg ECHO/
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%? IN (
  'REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes /S ^|FINDSTR/I "\\\..*\\ShellNew$" 2^>NUL'
  ) DO (
	IF ERRORLEVEL 0 (>>NewFiles.reg ECHO ;[-%%?])
	)
>>NewFiles.reg ECHO/
ENDLOCAL &GOTO :EOF

Yzöwl always the best
