Accidentally 'lost' New menu

Hi, I need some help with the New menu. Having discovered the brilliant 'Edit New menu' facility, 

I foolishly unchecked all the items including folder and now I can't see the 'New' link in my menu. I'm guessing there must be a setting to make it visible again. Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Hi GarethJPugh,

     

    If you temporarily add a content type to the document library you be able to add the default items back. Steps below:

     

    • Turn on "Allow management of content types"


    • I.e. "Basic Page"


    • "Edit New menu"


    • Add default menu items back and deselect "Document" and "Basic Page" - these are from the "Basic Page" content type


    • Delete the "Basic Page" content type


    • Turn off "Allow management of content types"

    I hope this helps.
