After a Windows update, the much-used “New” option in the rightclick could go missing. This hack will fix it.
Navigate to:
HCR\ Directory\ Background\ shellex\ ContextMenuHandlers\ New
Add the following String Value:
{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} to the “(Default)” setting under that key. If the “New” key is not present, create it and add the value.
