How to add in Windows 10 a document without extension to the pinned list of an app?
I like to add "C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts" to the pinned documents of my text-editor (PSPad) on the taskbar.
Usually I only need to open a document and after that it shows ab in the recent documents list of this app in the taskbar. But the hosts file does not show up. I think because it has no extension?!
As you can see I have the document linux_cmd.txt added to this list:
I tried to search for this filename in regedit but could not find any entries. Where does Windows 10 save this list or is there an other way to add the hosts file to it?

I solved it as follows:
- Opened
regedit
- searched for
pspadto find extensions that are default for this text editor - found
.shwith the default valuesh_auto_file
- added a new key to Computer -> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with the name
.
- added the string value
sh_auto_file
- signed out/in Windows 10 user to load registry changes
- opened
"C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts"
- and now its part of the recent documents list and can be pinned:

Create a new registration file with a text editor and save as
pin_noext.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Add new key for files without extension
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.]
@="noext_auto_file"
; Retain file type name

@="File"
; Retain blank document icon
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTnoext_auto_fileDefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll,2"
; Associate no-extension files with text editor (Notepad++)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTnoext_auto_fileshell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTnoext_auto_fileshellopen]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTnoext_auto_fileshellopencommand]
@=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1""
Import
pin_noext.reginto the registry.- Reboot (or terminate-restart
C:WindowsExplorer.EXE) - Open no-extension file (e.g.,
C:WindowsSystem32driversetcHOSTS) with chosen text editor (Notepad++ in my case). The file will now appear in the text editor's jump list. - Pin it! ( Win7 ) ( Win10 )
