How can one create a menu item "New Batch File" akin to "New Text Document"?

Help & Support
1

I copied-n-pasted the "New Text Document" item while in customize mode to create a new menu item on a toolbar button drop-down list. Then I changed the hotkey to 'Ctl + B' and the extension to '.txt' and left customize mode. When "New Batch File" is selected, it results in nothing. Why?

Windows doesn't have a .bat "new handler", at least by default. But you can use the .txt handler and change the filename:

FileType NEW=.txt NEWNAME="New Batch File.bat"

That works perfectly, thanks.
