Hi,
When I right-click on any empty space in any folder window, there the menu usually shows us an option of New --> Text Document etc...
But this option is not anymore in the menu option.
Other options like New --> Winzip file, New --> Rich text Document etc. are all there ...
I wonder why the New --> text Document options is not coming anymore ???
I relied on it a lot.
Please tell me how to restore it.
Thanks in advance,
S S Ray

What you're talking about is refered to in tweakui as a template. Templates can be disabled in tweakui, a powertoy. If you already used tweakui, and possibly unchecked the text file template, run it again and check it. Otherwise, you might try downloading tweakui, available on the right side of the web page http://www.microsoft.com/w
When you go into tweakui, go to the templates section and check the one for text files.
How do I re-grade the answer by sramesh2k ?
Moderator : You can re-grade the accepted answer by sramesh2k to the highest possible grade (A, I believe). He had answered many questions of mine in the past too and most of his answers were helpful to me.
sramesh2k : Thanks a lot !! Your answers really help. I did not notice that the radio button was on "B" when I accepted your answer. It was a small mistake from my side. Your answer truly deserved an "A".
