  It's easier than you'd think.  I'll provide an example for creating a new .REG file. Open Notepad, then copy & paste these lines (the 2nd line is a semicolon; don't omit it). Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Click File and Save As   In Save in, select the Desktop.  In the file name box, type "Registy.reg" including the quotes.  Select ANSI encoding, then click Save.  Close Notepad. Press Winkey+R to open a Run prompt, then type     shell:common templates and click OK.  Copy or cut & paste Registy.reg from the Desktop into the Templates folder, then close the folder. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.reg key.  If the ShellNew key doesn't exist, create it.  In the ShellNew key, create a string value named FileName and set the value to Registy.reg. ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— WinZip uses an alternate method to generate the New Zip and ZipX entries.  Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip or .zipx key and you'll notice a ShellNew key containing no data (zero-length or non-set values).  Rename ShellNew to #ShellNew.  Bring up the New menu, click away from it, then bring it up again. ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— If you need to restore Windows ZIP (compressed folders) handling, open a command prompt and type     Regsvr32 Zipfldr.dll     Assoc .zip=CompressedFolder Administrator's rights are required. ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— I've found a utility bundle that includes a standalone New Menu Editor, which appears to work well.  I haven't tried any of the other utilities.
