FREE AND SIMPLE FIX FOR FUNDAMENTAL XP RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU
WEAKNESS (INABILITY TO CREATE HTML DOCUMENT OR OUTLOOK EXPRESS E-MAIL)

In XP, the new menu in the right click context menu created by right
clicks in folders and on the desktop, does not contain HTML document as
one of the types of new documents that can be created. Whereas, Windows
ME which preceded XP featured this option.

The ability to create a new Outlook Express Email Message in a folder
or on the desktop via right-click-new-choose type of document, is also
lacking in XP as it was lacking in ME.

Most internet gurus reccommend fiddling around with the registry which
could wreck the computer.

Both these capabilities (new HTML & new OE Email message) can be added
to the new menu in the context (right-click) menu, by using a free
software X-setup pro 6.6.

1 Download, run X-setup pro 6.6
2 Hit Wizard button
3 Hit 'select wizard' button
4 Choose Appearance->Files and Folders->'New' Context Menu
5 Click Next button twice
6 Click Add Item to New Context menu
7 Input txt into the message box, hit OK button
8 Click Next button twice
9 Repeat steps 3-7 but at step 7 this time input html into message box
10 Hit Close button to close X-setup pro 6.6

This should result in HTML document and Outlook Express Internet E-mail
message being added to the New menu in the context menu produced
through clicks on the desktop or in folders.
