Open my default template when right click within a folder to create a new Word document

I often write what amount to Read Me files within folders.

I created a default template (dotx), and I use a desktop shortcut to open it. However, when I'm inside a folder, and I right click and select New>Microsoft Word Document, the document that opens is not my default; it reverts to Word's default.

How do I force Word to open MY template from the right-click New menu?

Thanks.
