Unable to create a new text doc using right click

Windows Vista

I cannot create a new text document in any folder
using right click - can only create a new folder or a new
file.
Please help

Hello eXistenZ,

This should be able to help restore this function and allow you to
create a new .txt file again.

Hope this helps,

Please be a bit more explicit. Do you mean that the option to create a new
text document is not there in the right-click context menu, or do you mean
that the option IS there, but nothing happens when you click on it?
