    How to edit right click "new" context menu?


    Hi all, first post.

    I have a rather cluttered "new" context menu. Ie. when right clicking on my desktop I can choose "new" and choose "text document", "word document" etc.

    Problem is that the menu includes lots of stuff I don't want to. In XP I could easily edit these items with MS TweakUI, but I haven't figured out how to do it in W7.

    Can anyone help? I took a screenshot illustrating what I mean.

    Thanks
    Martin

    Thanks. It's just some registry entry surely. Just haven't been able to locate it yet.
