Custom Properties File

Hi Guys

I'm sure I've asked this before and got the right answer, but my searches don't pull it up.

The properties drop-down in my new parts are empty where I usually have the options of "description, part no, etc, etc."

How do I repopulate this list?  I'm on SW2009 SP5.1

I suspect it has to do with the blank "properties.txt" file in my templates folder.  I'm looking for a properties.txt file in other solidworks directories which contains something useful, but no success yet.
