Thanks, Mathias.  I haven't ever used MultiScript, so I may need more of a hand-hold: I tried  SaveStringToFile(MyReadMe.txt,"",0); as a User-Created MultiScript Command, which I linked to a Button (but it didn't do anything).

[My Batch File was
call>MyReadMe.txt
start /B  %windir%\notepad.exe MyReadMe.txt
exit
But, as I said, this produces a brief flash of the cmd window]

I would like to have a Button that creates a new, blank, pre-named text file, and which, ideally, then opens in Notepad.  If not the opening bit then, at least, the file would have focus so that I can just press Enter to open it into Notepad from the Explorer Window.  I can do this, almost, bwo a simple Batch File, but I can't eliminate a brief flash of a cmd window.  I know it is possible because I did it ages ago, but then lost that installation of MC (through a corruption of an extension file), and now can't remember how I managed it.  Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Under Win 7 Pro x64, Intel i5, 24Gb RAM, with MC 7.5_2381

MC now takes several seconds to 'boot up' initially - while Reading Configuration.  Not so very long ago, it was pretty much instantaneous.
If I close it, then re-open it, there is no appreciable delay.  There aren't any new programs installed recently.  My anti-virus (Kaspersky) isn't updating at the time.  Any advice or suggestions?

Same problem - except I am using W7Pro x64 with Office 2003.  The skeleton templates for Excel and Word seem to be in C:\Windows\ShellNew (Excel9.xls and Winword8.doc).  Is it possible for me to to point MC at these?  All other Context Menu 'New' options work (including PS6 and another office program that I have installed (SoftMaker)).  'New' options for Excel/Word work correctly from Explorer.
