Thanks, and to Philip, R., and Alan who told me how to add a new filetypw by editing the registry. I was just wondering, if there's any way to add - say - "new file", that would let you specify any (or no!) extension when you typed in the name. Thinking about it, that wouldn't save you _that_ much time, as you'd still have to select which editor when you wanted to actually put something _in_ it after creating it. (Though I have vague memory of some way to specify an editor to be used for any [all] "unknown" types.)> > In Notepad, setting the filetype to "All Files" and saving as "some.css" > seems to give a CSS file without a .txt glued to the end.
