Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)

When I right-click on the desktop, ==> New ==> I get a bunch of
options for opening a new file. I want most of them OUT of there!
I've tried looking in the registry for the correct contextmenuhandlers
to kill, but I've found too many. I'm afraid to delete them.

Where do I find the context menu handlers for NEW Files? Can I just
delete the keys when I find them, or should I do something else.

Is there a different program to do registry edits, that would allow me
to color-code the keys so I can find my place again? Is there a
program that would let me find just the context menu handlers?

Thank you.

TweakUI XP , use Templates and uncheck or delete what you don't want.

You should be aware that some applications automatically add the new-file template for their filetype whenever they are run, so you
will have to keep removing it every time you run the program.

Unfortunately, the new-file template system is decentralized (there is no one location that holds it all) so the entries that make
it up are spread out, which makes it a pain to maintain/force/backup/restore.

This seems a very handy utilitiy & I'm pleased to learn of it. Does a few
things I haven't been able to do since Win 3.x.

I'm trying to add New HTML doc to the "New" submenu, preferably using Nvu
as editor. Tweak UI adds my HTML template to its menu, does not ask for the
program to use anyplace I can find. Thing is, it retains the item on booting
but it never appears in the New menu.

Other aspects of this and other Tweak settings seem to work fine.

Thanks in advance.
