Submenu "New" shows too much

[laser21]

Hi, after a while, when a lot of programs are installed, and each of the has its own fileformat, they make an entry in the "right-click-submenu" under New. For examle when I want to create a new folder, it takes some seconds until the whole menu is loaded, because of all the file formats, which appear. I would love to get rid of all these formats, leave there just New Folder. Is it possible? Thanks a lot for precious tips, bye

Try to edit/amend the attached file to further add or substract any other template.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00    

;Cleaning Right Click Menus Templates  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rtf\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\CompressedFolder\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.8\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\ShellNew]  
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rar\ShellNew]

aother simple way is to use TweakUI Powertoy for windows xp

as clavicle said, the best way is to delete the ShellNew subkey of the key that corresponds to the file extension that you want to get rid of [from the registry].

I'd go with TweakUI, it saves all that registry editing (unless you're into that)

yeah maybe i like oing things the hard way but that's beside the point

I mainly use regtweaks for the following reasons:

1) you don't have to INSTALL any programs (like TweakUI X-Setup, etc -- which ARE both good and that's how I started into this stuff anyway )

2) you can automate them from a batch script with the following syntax:

REGEDIT /S "name_of_reg_file.reg"

which is nice if you're making a UA cd... or you're just lazy like me
