If new command missing in Context menu

When you click the File menu in Windows Explorer or When you right-click the desktop, the New command may be missing from the context menu, or it may not be showing proper items then do following. But be careful that you don't end up changing key value incorrectly.

To resolve this issue, use Registry Editor to verify that the registry key listed below has the value listed, and if needed, edit the value to match the value listed.

Registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\ (Default)
Value for (Default):
{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} 
If registry entry doesn't appear then add the registry entry and (Default) value.
