I’ve already known how to add specific extension to the New Menu in Windows 7 with regedit, but now I want to add the type FILE (i.e. pure file without an extension), how can I do it?

Ah, I got it right with google. Here is the solution:
1. Create a key of any extension or just a ‘.’ in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and make the default value ‘genericfile’
2. Create the ShellNew in the extension you just created
3.Create a string in the ShellNew with the name ‘NullFile’ and the value empty
4.Create the key ‘Config’ in the ‘ShellNew’ and a string in the config with the name ‘NoExtension’ and value empty
5.Create the key ‘genericfile’ in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and make the default value the text you want to display in your new context value (Such as “New Empty File”)
Wish helps you a lot 🙂
