By new notepad, you mean only opening a new instance of Notepad or new text document in the current folder where you are browsing?

For only opening Notepad, add a Custom command to the toolbar. To add a Custom button, open Classic Explorer Settings and go to the Toolbar Buttons tab. In the right column, scroll all the way down and drag the Custom item from the right column to the left and position it where you want.

Then double click "Custom" and in the command field, type: C:\Windows\notepad.exe. Pick an icon and label if you want.

If you want to add a button to a create a new text file, use this command instead in the Custom button: notepad "%1%\New Text Document.txt". This will start Notepad and it will ask to create a new text document in the current folder where you are.

Hi - PLEASE HELP! I used the suggested command to create a CUSTOM TOOLBAR button that creates a
"New Text Document.txt" (at the current location/within current folder)

BUT EACH TIME I USE THIS BUTTON I get a popup box "New Text Document.txt" was not found at this location. Create new document at this location?" You must click yes to continue.

It's very irritating. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks.

Well that's how it's supposed to be. The command does not itself create the new document. It starts Notepad and tells it to create the new document called "New text document.txt" if one doesn't exist already. Click Yes and the text file will be created.

Is there any way to emulate exactly the behaviour you see when right-clicking the whitespace of a folder and choosing New-Text Document?

ie. a text file is created in current folder with title text highlighted ready for renaming.


I went to the registry and found the ShellNew key for .txt files, the ItemName string has value "@%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe,-470"
I hoped this could put into the command field of the custom button, but unfortunately didnt work..

Thankyou Stamimail, this gave me the kickstart to work on this again. I checked out old mates script idea and the problem was it depended on where the mouse was positioned to work properly. I've now got a working Autohotkey script that factors this in, works great.

Code:
SetMouseDelay, 0

MouseGetPos, mouseposX
ControlGetPos, , buttonY, , , ToolbarWindow325, A ; gets

RestoreClip := Clipboard
Send !d
Sleep 10
FolderPath := Clip()

buttonY += 86
MouseMove, %mouseposX%, %buttonY%

Click, Right
Sleep, 10
SendRaw, wt

Clipboard := RestoreClip

ExitApp
Return


Set the saved script as button Command in Classic Shell and will be good to go.
