If there is a different Default and FriendlyTypeName data TC is not showing the item in menu New. Windows Explorer does.
Example:
1. Find Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile
2. Set FriendlyTypeName different from Default.
3. Verify New context menus in Explorer and TC.

Re: Menu New ommits item that has different Default and FriendlyTypeName
It's not documented anywhere, so I had to guess how the Explorer does it...

On https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/fa-progids is some documentation. FriendlyTypeName should be used for this purpose.

I can confirm TC now uses friendly name set as plain text for file type in "FriendlyTypeName" key of registry as its name in "New" menu. Checked on TC 9.50 beta 5, Vista 32-bit.history950.txt wrote:24.09.19 Fixed: Right click context menu, "New" submenu: use "FriendlyTypeName" even if it only provides plain text (it doesn't start with @ linking to dll) (32/64)

Yes, I changed this - I assumed that "FriendlyTypeName" wouldn't provide plain text...
