ShellNew not reflecting

[ur]

I am not getting Context menu 

RIght click -> New -> AutoIt V3 Script

Earlier I used to get.

But not now.

Even the required registry exists.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.au3\ShellNew]
"FileName"="Template.au3"

And also,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New]
@="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"

 

And also, the the file exists.

C:\Windows\ShellNew\Template.au3

Any suggestions?

What does the top part of the output of this script look like when you run it from SciTE?:

It should be something like:

Don't know why but if I delete below registries then working.

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.a3x\AutoIt3XScript]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.au3\AutoIt3Script]

Then you didn't install the full SciTE4AutoIt3, so that won't be there.

Did you export them first, because I like to know know what information was stored in that registry location?

Sorry, I didn't export them.
