I've searched a lot but I cannot find a complete solution, I want to edit the file description in the explorer new file menu

now i have: Explorer right-click > New > Notepad++ Document to create a new CSS file

That's not useful if I want to add one new file menu item for example a PHP file, which is registrated to be opened by Notepadd++. I suppose if I add one more menu item it would be also Notepad++ Document

I would like to change that to new CSS file and have the filename to be style.css if it's a CSS file, now its New - Notepad++ Document.css

Does anybody have an idea how to change that?

Try the Default Programs Editor

From the page:

makes it easy to fix file association settings in Windows, including context menu items, icons, and descriptions. Also: autoplay settings and default programs settings ...all without fiddling around in the registry.

  • The program **doesn't** allow editing the description of the file. It only promises it does, but really it edits the extensions' description. It was not significant in 2012, because THEN windows allowed us to edit the file description, but now it looks awful. – Gangnus Sep 12 '22 at 08:51
