I want to be able to create a new bitmap...

    I want to be able to create a new bitmap...

    when I right-click on the screen (you know, like windows has always had).
    Anyway, bitmap ain't there (on mine, anyway- photoshop image shows up after
    installing ps, but no bitmap).
    I tried editing the registry (I found a 'shellnew' string that contains all
    the items I can create now, and tried editing that, but it reverts back to the
    way it is now. I'm assuming there's a higher-up string that may need to be
    edited, or that there's a menu some where that needs to be edited to get that
    sub-string to accept the change)
    I can't find a 'new item' edit of any sort anywhere...does anyone know what I
    have to look for here?
    TIA

    You cold read this and see if it helps:

    Otherwise you will probably have to wait for TweakUI for Vista.

    If that didn't work, I think this can do it too:

    I just noticed the 'Show in Exporer's New menu' button at the bottom, while
    I was using it.
