Restore 'New .rtf file" to menu on desktop of Win 11

How to add RTF Rich Text Document to the New menu in File Explorer

In previous Windows versions before 11, right click the desktop brought up the NEW RTF FILE choice in the menu. This choice is missing in Windows 11.

The link above is how to restore it.

In the article where it says " 2. Navigate to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rtf key " , well his way to navigate there may not work well. So instead, just Search in REGEDIT for RTF . This will accomplish navigating to this key easier. i.e. this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rtf.

OR a simpler option is, if you don't want to make your context menu longer or for anyone who is not comfortable messing with the registry:
you can associate file type .txt with wordpad.

Open settings>Apps>Default Apps>scroll to bottom
select 'choose defaults by file types'
find .txt in the list and select it. Choose Wordpad from the list.

Going forward, when you bring up the "new" right click menu and click on "new text document," (that is already there) you get wordpad rather than notepad.
Any old .txt files you have will also automatically open with wordpad.
