Add and remove item types from the New Menu

 

Add Item Types

When you right-click on your desktop, there is a New submenu that contains a list of templates. A template is visible

if the related entry in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive associated with a file extension has a sub-key called

ShellNew.

For example, on the New submenu there is an entry for Text Document. This entry is visible because of the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew]. Create a blank document of the corresponding application, and put it into the Windows\ShellNew Folder. Go to that file type under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT], create a subkey named ShellNew and create the string-value File Name in it. Change this string's value to the blank document's filename.

Ex: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\ShellNew\FileName], and FileName's value = "sndrec.wav".

 

Remove Item Types

Read Add Item Types, and delete or rename the subkey named ShellNew. Hit F5 to update the items in the New

submenu.

 

Hope this was helpful ;)
