Default new entry in context menu gone

A while after installing new video drivers I noticed that the "new"
entry in my context menu (that which appears if I rightclick in a
folder) is gone.

When using Google I find a lot of articles about adding that entry to
Windows98SE by editing the registry - but I found nothing specific to
WIndows ME that I´m using.

Is the entry identical that needs to be added to the registry?


This used to be a quite common problem when installing video drivers from
nVidia where for some reason the installer (rather than the drivers
themselves) deletes more of the contents of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Directory key than just the branch
involved with New Folders.

I have attached a zip file containing a registry file (directory.reg) that
when extracted from the zip file and merged with the registry should restore
all of the functionality you lost when installing your drivers.
