Re: [WiX-users] ShellNew/FileName
Yes, though it's Windows Installer that doesn't add it for extensions. As long as you don't add Advertise="yes" to you Extension element it just results in a bunch of Registry table entries anyway so you can certainly add your own registry values using the same key. Be sure to include them in the same components as the related Extensions you're registering.

[WiX-users] ShellNew/FileName
It seems like Wix doesn't support the ShellNew/FileName registry key under Extensions in order to allow Windows Explorer's New command to create a new file. Is it better to start with what Wix does provide using Extension and then add some extra registry keys to extend it or to do the whole setup using Registry entries for more complicated requirements like this?
