Quick overview:
In Windows 98 there is a bug that strangely and inexplicably opens the menu New which appears when you right-click on a free area in Explorer or on the desktop.
This is how they restore it:
Edit entries in the context menu
1. Open the Registry Editor by clicking in the Start menu on Execute click and there regedit enter.
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 Standard on which you double-click and {D969A300-E7FF-11D0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} enter.
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 (back then this is what Sandro looked like). He then went on to write elsewhere, such as 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.
