Hi,
Need some help out each time when I click RMB to create a new text document the extension is in upper case .TXT but what I want is .txt in lower case for the file extension.
Cheers, 
The default Windows : New / Text Document menu item uses lower case so I presume you've created a button in the lister RMB menu of your own. If you edit this button you will find it's very easy to change the command to use lower case...
[Edit: Posted at the same time as Steve's reply, so somewhat redundant.]
What are you selecting to create the text file? (Just clicking RMB on its own won't create a text file.)
Is it the standard New menu? If so, does the same thing happen in Explorer?
I think in the past we talked about creating a custom menu item to create a new text file with fewer mouse clicks; if you're using that, what command does it run?
Hi,
Thank you guys for your reply.
No buttons created steve but just tested it Windows Explorer same things happens.

This might be a Windows Issue since it happens in explorer...
Cheers, 
If it happens in Explorer too then feel free to contact Microsoft, or check the program you installed which assigned itself to .txt files... 
Or perhaps search google...

Hey,
Thank you anyway..............
Is there anyway to find out which program may have done this.
[quote="leo"]A text editor has probably messed with the .txt filetype.
The relevant registry settings should look like this on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (other versions may vary):[/quote]
Will have a look at this.

Hey Leo,
Thank you fro your screen shot everything is the same as your screen shot only difference is the folder which is upper case .TXT I know this is not DOpus related now so you move this thread to the coffeeshop section.
Need to find a solution.
Cheers,
Thnx Guys,
Problem fixed.
Cheers,
And ?
What fixed it / caused it ?
Hi Guys,
Problem has come back after reboot.
What I did was remane the .TXT folder in the reg but it wouldn't let. It renamed it .TXTtxt so what I did was deleted the folder then tested it again no problems rebooted it came back.
Any thoughts....
Cheers,
First of all - be careful in your registry, and don't just start trying to delete things...
Secondly, you can't rename a reg "key" (which I think you're calling a "folder") to the same name in a different case - i.e. - you can't rename from .TXT to .txt. You have to first rename to something else like .tx (without the trailing "t"), and then rename again to .txt (adding the trailing "t")...
Lastly, I "reproduced" your issue by modifying all the "likely" registry entries which I've exported and included in a zip file I've uploaded to this post. I don't know for sure that you need to modify "ALL" of these registry values... and I don't have the time right now to try and narrow things down for you, so my advice to you would be to go through EACH of these registry exports, and then go to the corresponding reg keys and values in YOUR registry, and manually fix them from uppercase TXT to lowercase txt.
NOTE!!!!!!!!!
- the reg keys I've exported and included in this zip file are "bad" registry keys... i.e. - they've got all of the UPPERCASE TXT values that I set in order to reproduce your issue. Don't "import" them into your registry. Open them in notepad or something and just "look" at them to see which registry keys you should go to and modify manually.
- be aware that there are some registry "keys", some registry "value names", and registry "data" settings mixed in here that have all been uppercased... look closely at ALL of these things to know what to reset back to lowercase txt...
