Thankyou for your offer - however I hesitated to download and merge
some unknown file. But in the meantime I found the answer on the
german microsoft site:

or english

and when I edited that entry into the registry using regedit my new
command was there again :-)


That's good to read. Nevertheless check that you didn't lose more than just
the right click "New" option following your driver install. You don't need
to actually merge the reg file I posted but instead you can open it in a
text viewer such as Notepad and compare the various keys and their data for
the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Directory
with those in your system using regedit.

Incidentally, Microsoft Knowledge Base references such as
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=180257
open in the users default language and only need the addition of /en-us/
where the user's default language is other than English and the user wishes
to view the English version of the KB.
