I fully understand how to add a "New" file/template to the context menu from Windows Explorer (Windows 7), by modifying the registry, as explained here for example:
How can I add an item to the 'new' context menu?
It works greats and the "filename" sub-key allow me to define a specific file located in C:\Windows\ShellNew. I thus configured there a .doc file corresponding to the template letter of my company (with logo, name, address...). Each time I want to create a letter, I just right-click and I got the template on my current directory !
Now, I would like to have several templates like this one for only 1 filetype (.doc)
The problem is that it seems that there is only one possible NullFile / FileName / Data / Command sub-key in the ShellNew key.
Is there any workaround, with a Command value for example ? Or a similar behavior without modifying the registry?
I'd just like to easily create different Word templates from my current directory, and avoid a copy/paste.
Thank you for your answers or advices.
1It's pretty much what i have today, but you go further by introducing the toolbar (it is a good idea). However, the template will open, but not be saved on any folder. It is this last behavior that i'm looking for. – Antoine – 2013-09-19T04:56:29.050
What do you mean? – Canadian Luke – 2013-09-19T05:27:30.377
1What I was looking for was to manually browse to a folder, then to decide to create a Template there. What you are proposing is to open the Template, then to save it to a folder. For some reasons, this way is less convenient for me than the other. i will wait and see if I have other answers, then assess yours – Antoine – 2013-09-19T06:30:28.690
