Quick overview:
There is a bug in Windows 98 that causes the New menu to disappear in a strange and unexplained way when you right-click on an empty area in Explorer or on the desktop.
How to restore it:
Edit entries in the context menu
1. Open the Registry Editor by clicking on Run in the Start menu and entering regedit there.
2. After the obligatory confirmation with OK, click through the keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory.
3. In the right-hand pane, you will now see the entry Standart, which you double-click on and enter {D969A300-E7FF-11D0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}.
NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
