[QUOTE="Ink, post: 598384, member: 3"] It's always recommended that you perform a full backup of the Windows Registry before modifying, however, guaranteed, a lot of time most users will not. This was the case for myself, when I unknowingly [I]deleted[/I] an Important Key that allowed users to Add a New Folder or File to the Desktop and with the Ribbon of File Explorer. [B]I did not create a backup prior to editing the Registry, so I could not restore the missing options.[/B] Fortunately, I found a How-To online on restore missing options from the desktop Context Menu. View Guide: [URL='http://www.askvg.com/how-to-restore-missing-new-menuitem-in-desktop-and-explorer-context-menu/']How to Restore Missing “New” or “New Folder” Option in Desktop and Explorer Context Menu in Windows? - AskVG[/URL] [B]Moral: Always backup before deleting or modifying the Windows Registry.[/B] [/QUOTE]
