right-click on desktop

Hello!

If I right-click on the Desktop to create a new document, only MS Office files formats appear.

From LO, only Draw appears there.

See the screenshot.

I get Draw, Impress & Calc (6.0.4).
Comment 2 himajin100000 2018-07-17 17:54:02 UTC 
At least in my case, I had

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.odt 
(Default) Word.OpenDocumentText.12

and there were no

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.odt\Word.OpenDocumentText.12\ShellNew

but I had  

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.odt\LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1\ShellNew

***

I changed the default value to LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1 as follows,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.odt 
(Default) LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1

and restarted Windows and "OpenDocument Text" context menu came back.

I don't know at what exact point this value was changed

but I'm guessing this change may have happened when I installed new language to MS Office to test LibreOffice's multilingual features(and probably thereby MS Office's Unstaller tried to restore the changed value, LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1 to their original value Word.OpenDocumentText.12 ?)

This may have happened When I launched any MS Office application and there was NoReReg.

If any of my guess is correct, I propose this as NOTOURBUG.

Yeah, I guess we should close.
