Rick Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 this item from the windows registry guide may be of help to you:"Removing Item Types from the New Menu (All Versions)=====================================================Category: Home > Windows > Desktop and Explorer When you right-click on your desktop or other selected applications there is a New sub-menu which contains a list a default templates. This list can be modified to include only the templates you want. Each template exists in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive associated with a file extension. Whether it is visible or not in the New menu is controlled by whether the related entry has a sub-key called 'ShellNew'. For example on the New menu there is usually an entry for "Text Document". This is visible because of the key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew] If you were to rename the key so it no longer had a sub-key called 'ShellNew' by changing it to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNewOld] it would disappear from the New menu. Open Regedit, and using the Find function (Ctrl+F) search for any values of 'ShellNew'. Several should be found under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive, if you do not want them to be displayed rename 'ShellNew' to 'ShellNewOld'. Changes should take effect immediately. "There ya have it!Rick

Rick Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 Actually, I didn't read my answer very well because that only shows you how to remove the items under "New" on the right click menu.Go to this website for a great guide on doing anything you want to the right click menu including taking out the unwanted options.
