You are probably doing something wrong. I've made a registry export for you to try.
Follow the instructions.
-------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxx]
@="AsciiFile"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxx\ShellNew]
"NullFile"=""
--------------------------------------------------
1. Create a new text document (it will be New Text Document.txt, right?), open it
with Notepad, and paste the text above between the horizontal lines, excluding the
lines. Save.
2. Rename New Text Document.txt to NewXXXFile.reg. Right-click on it, select Merge
from the context menu and confirm.
3. Re-open Explorer (for me, it was not needed, but just in case), right-click on
the right-hand pane, scroll to New. In the context menu you should have 'Ascii File'
entry now among others. Select it. This will create a file named 'New Ascii File.xxx'.
I've just double-checked that it works on my W2K.
