Shorcut button to create new text document inside folder, Like New Fol

[nathan323]

Howdy.

I want to add a button that creates a new text document and put it next to the New Folder button in Windows 7, so that clicking it will give me the same result as right-clicking in the folder and choosing New>Text Document. Basically the exact same thing as the New Folder button, but New Text Document.

I have read this page: http://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/Programming/System/Windows__Programming/Add-a-Custom-Command-Button-to-the-Windows-7-Explorer-Toolbar.html

and this page: http://winjade.net/2008/06/custom-explorer-buttons/

Currently when im in any given folder, i often have cause to create a new notepad file in that folder. At the moment, i right click within the folder, go to New, go to Text document. What im tryin to do make a shortcut to this process - so i just have to click a button, and it will carry out the same command. Exactly like how there used to be no button to create New Folder, now there is, I want one to create New Text Document. Ive made the entries in the registry to get the button on the toolbar (after following the articles i mentioned), now i just want it to perform that New Text Document action.

So ive got the button appearing, but dont know the command line to carry out the action. I dont know if its just a variable i need to add onto the command line "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe", or its a different command altogether..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
