Windows 10: Trimming right click NEW menu

Hello, Microsoft keeps placing items in my NEW dropdown list I trimmed it some time ago and had Word - Excel - PowerPoint etc... coming back in the list When I went to the registry I already had //ShellNew under these entries, and a second ShellNew had appeared under it all I did not dare delete anything so I placed /// in front of the second ShellNew.... seems to have worked I would like to know whether it's ok to delete the extras ShellNew and leave one only, I fear I'll have to do it again sooner rather than later... On the right list is all I need - I would gladly get rid or Rich Text Format but could not find it... Win 10 Pro x64 build19042.985 Thanks for your advice

Trimming right click NEW menu

Hello,
Microsoft keeps placing items in my NEW dropdown list
I trimmed it some time ago and had Word - Excel - PowerPoint etc... coming back in the list *Devil
When I went to the registry I already had //ShellNew under these entries, and a second ShellNew had appeared under it all *Sad
I did not dare delete anything so I placed /// in front of the second ShellNew.... seems to have worked





I would like to know whether it's ok to delete the extras ShellNew and leave one only, I fear I'll have to do it again sooner rather than later...




On the right list is all I need - I would gladly get rid or Rich Text Format but could not find it...

Source Forge has an app for that. It's called ShellNewHandler, it needs no installation, and it lists everything you've got in New and gives you the option of deleting as you wish. Find it with this link: ShellNewHandler download | SourceForge.net

I just leave .lnk and .contact in there, and that gives me exactly and only Folder and Shortcut.

Enjoy!

dalchina, Wisewiz, THANK YOU !

I first used 'New' Menu Editor and finished trimming my list the easy way *Biggrin
I downloaded ShellNewHandler and shall test it next time I have to go over it again

Thanks to both of you *Cool
