    J.P. ,

    I was just wondering, if there's any way to add - say - "new file", that
    would let you specify any (or no!) extension when you typed in the name.

    On my machine that is what happens by default : if you forget the extension none is used. When you use an extension than that one is used. In both cases you get a warning though

    I think we're talking about different things. I'm talking about
    right-clicking in a folder (in File Explorer), and selecting New: that
    offers Folder, Shortcut, and (in my case) ten filetypes, from Windows
    Batch File to Text Document. You can't "forget" the extension - when you
    select one of the options, it preloads the extension (e. g. if you
    select Text Document, it creates "New Text Document.txt", with the part
    before the dot highlighted for you to tye-replace. (IIRR, on 7 and
    earlier it created "Untitled.txt", again with the first part highlighted.)

    You can give the .css entry in the registry some stuff to mimic the .txt

    I wasn't trying to add a _specific_ new type (such as .css); I was
    wondering if there was any way to add a _generic_ "new file" to the list
    (of things it can create).
