    Right click in folder does not show New->Text Document


    I upgraded two computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I just noticed today that a right click in a folder does not have anything other than New Folder under New. Windows 7 had several choices (Folder,Shortcut,Rich Text Document, Text Document, Wave Sound and more).

    My wife's W8 works properly and a W7 VM works properly.

    Does anyone know what is going on?

    :)

    Cut & paste requires Administrator privileges

    If you go to the document in File Explorer, right click it and select properties. It will show the attributes of the file. What folder are the files in ? While in File Explorer can you create a simple text file. Right click in a blank area of the folder
    and select New > Text Document. If it fails then you don't have the right privilege to write to that folder. (do this in the folder you are trying to copy or move to)

    How to add new file type ics

    Make sure Explorer is set to show file extensions.

    Create an empty file by right-clicking on the Desktop or in a folder and choose
    New -> Text Document.

    It will be created with the name selected for editing. Replace txt with your desired extension and then use right-click ->
    Open with to associate the file with an App.
