-back then the answer was Notepad++.
What has changed, if Notepad++ no longer is the answer?

I think is the past i renounce to this target because using a more powerful script to create even list of txt files in a folder with the hotkey win+y.
I am using filemenu tools for years, now in seven.

I don't understand what you are trying to tell me. But I have to understand.
At the present moment when i open a txt file does with pspad. It's the default. But I use notepad++ too.

really i am lost. I don't discover exactly the structure or operation way or configuration of the program. I don't know the structure indeed. I don't know how to locate any icon present in the contextual menu.

Except those properly from lopesoft......

At least in AutoIt and AHK they use the name Template.au3 or .ahk.  I think you can do the same with a text file.  Have it start with some default text.  But I think you have to put the name of the template file in the reg key.  For example C:\Windows\ShellNew\Template.txt

I tried just creating that file with some text in it.  Didn't work.  So it must need the registry key.

Did you get Dopus that time Contro (I know you gave it a trial), or are you using Windows Explorer?
(I ask cause, AFAIK, it's easy to add to Dopus context menu)

Ok.  I already had Text File in New menu.  Here's what I did to get a template file.

This key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.txt\ShellNew

I added a new string named FileName and for value Template.txt


In the folder C:\Windows\ShellNew I made a file named Template.txt.  The contents is:
This is a text file template.

Now if I right click the desktop or in a folder, select New text document, name it, then double click, it has the text from the template.

One thing I notice I can't do it directly under C:\

It has to be in a folder.  The permissions situation with W8 seems even worse than W7 now.  Every move is hamstrung. I can't even save a file from Editpad directly into C:\Windows\ShellNew.  I have to save it somewhere else, then drag it.  Really asinine.

Anyway, I hope the template text default was what you were interested in.  If not then, Never Mind.  :)
