How do I create a "notepad or wordpad ot .txt or .doc" file?

OMG!! Vista is so retarded and frustrating. I usualy like to leave create notes in folders just to give some info or reminder to myself about the programs in there and to do this I always used to right click and then select "new" and then choose "notepad, word pad or document" in Windows XP but the only option I can see in Vista after right clicking is the create a new folder option.

Why is there just an option to create a folder in vista and no notepad or wordpad, what happened to all the other options that used to be in xp to creating and adding other items?

Thanks

Im also running Vista Ultimate, but now that you mentioned it I tried it agin on the desktop and this time it worked on there but then I tried right clicking again in the folder on my external hard drive and again it didnt work. So it seems the problem i encountered is very selective. theres only a few folders in which the right click option does not work in which is very odd.

thanks for your help
