Yes. You need to use regedit for this. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes find the extention of the file type you want to add to New menu. Let it be .xxx. In this case, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.xxx and create a new key ShellNew. Under ShellNew, create a new string value named NullFile. You don't need to modify the actual value, only name matters.
