I have created new per-user file templates (not Office but plain text) for myself in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Templates and I expected them to show up in Windows Explorer's context menu, under the New submenu. However, it's not there.
What did I do wrong or what did I miss doing?
I have also tried
C:\Windows\ShellNewbut it's only accessible for administrators, so that can't be the right place for per-user templates.%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Templates(without Windows), but it didn't work either (and seems to be Office specific)%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Templatesbut it's only accessible for administrators, so that can't be the right place for per-user templates.- logging off and logging in again
- reading How can I add an item to the 'new' context menu? but all answers modify the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which isn't a per-user setting. Doing the same inHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\is ok, but it removes the original template, which I don't want. Also, I didn't find a way of adding several templates for the same extension.
