I think we're talking about different things. I'm talking about
right-clicking in a folder (in File Explorer), and selecting New: that
offers Folder, Shortcut, and (in my case) ten filetypes, from Windows
Batch File to Text Document. You can't "forget" the extension - when you
select one of the options, it preloads the extension (e. g. if you
select Text Document, it creates "New Text Document.txt", with the part
before the dot highlighted for you to tye-replace. (IIRR, on 7 and
earlier it created "Untitled.txt", again with the first part highlighted.)

I wasn't trying to add a _specific_ new type (such as .css); I was
wondering if there was any way to add a _generic_ "new file" to the list
(of things it can create).
