Windows 10: I can't make a text file with notepad in the file explorer

I'm trying to create a text file using notepad in a folder on file explorer, but the option isn't there, there is just rich text which I don't want to use. How do i fix this?

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
