Do you want to add New Folder / New Text File to the MAIN context menu? By MAIN I mean right click and select New Folder or New Text File, without having to right click -> new -> text file.

SEE LAST POST FOR AN AUTOHOTKEY WAY, WHICH IS BETTER.

Create RTF file with New context menu command, and also have a second option to create new TXT file on the same New context menu:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;;;; RTF

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1]
@="Create DESCRIPTION.rtf"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\WORDICON.EXE,1"
;Icon in case you don't use Microsoft Word:
;"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll,1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1\command]
@="cmd /c cd %V & echo.{\rtf1}>DESCRIPTION.rtf & start DESCRIPTION.rtf"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1]
@="Create DESCRIPTION.rtf"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\WORDICON.EXE,1"
;Icon in case you don't use Microsoft Word:
;"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll,1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1\command]
@="cmd /c cd %V & echo.{\rtf1}>DESCRIPTION.rtf & start DESCRIPTION.rtf"

;;;; TXT

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_2]
@="Create DESCRIPTION.txt"
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll,70"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_2\command]
@="cmd /c cd %V & echo.>DESCRIPTION.txt & start DESCRIPTION.txt"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_2]
@="Create DESCRIPTION.txt"
"Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll,70"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_2\command]

In case you encounter a problem when trying to create a DESCRIPTION.rtf file for the first time:

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page"

Make sure to check in the registry if the following 2 keys have contents for the (Default) string:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1\command
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\NewTextFileAndOpen_1\command

Both (Default) strings should contain the following data:

cmd /c cd %V & echo.{\rtf1}>DESCRIPTION.rtf & start DESCRIPTION.rtf

If they do not, there's the problem. Just manually edit both and paste the above line of data.

No need for PC restart.

If that still doesn't work :x, you can try an AutoHotkey script.

Script adapted from source 1 will, upon pressing ALT+Q in a folder, create a file named DESCRIPTION.rtf and open it - just as I want.
It has adapted bring window to front from source 3.

Plus, using this version of obtaining the RTF file will not set the formatting to default, but instead keep the one in Normal.dotm template, the one I want. The Right Click menu option would reset it to default Word template and I would have 1,5 lines spacing and big page margins.

#IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass
!q:: ;explorer - create new rtf file and open it with Word

#IfWinActive, ahk_class ExploreWClass
!q:: ;explorer - create new rtf file and open it with Word

vPathWinWord := "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE"
vNameNoExt := "DESCRIPTION"
vDotExt := ".rtf"
vPath := ""
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
for oWin in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows
{
if (oWin.HWND = hWnd)
{
vDir := RTrim(oWin.Document.Folder.Self.Path, "\")
if !InStr(FileExist(vDir), "D")
{
oWin := ""
return
}

Loop
{
vSfx := (A_Index=1) ? "" : " (" A_Index ")"
vName := vNameNoExt vSfx vDotExt
vPath := vDir "\" vName
if !FileExist(vPath)
break
}

FileAppend,, % "*" vPath
break
}
}
oWin := ""
if FileExist(vPath)
Run, "%vPathWinWord%" "%vPath%"

SetTitleMatchMode, 2 ;Allows you to search for an approximate window title match
WinWait, DESCRIPTION.rtf - Word,
IfWinNotActive, DESCRIPTION.rtf - Word, , WinActivate, DESCRIPTION.rtf - Word

Sleep, 100
Clipboard := "Game is updated to `n`nSavegames are located in `n`n`n"
Sleep, 100
;Msgbox, %Clipboard%
Send ^v

Sleep, 100
Clipboard := ""

return

Today the text adding part from the AHK script above stopped working. It creates and opens the RTF file, just won't insert the text. Until I figure why, here's a Word VBA snippet that put in the 2nd place of the QAT, with an ALT+2 combination will do the exact same thing I want (add the text and color it blue and embolden, then move to next rows with normal black text:

Sub Blue_Insert_Text()
Selection.TypeBackspace
Selection.TypeText Text:="Game is updated to "
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText Text:="Savegames are located in "
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
Selection.Font.Bold = wdToggle
Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Font.Color = wdColorBlack
Selection.Font.Bold = wdToggle
Selection.TypeParagraph
End Sub
