Clear Unwanted Entries from
If you right-click on the desktop or an open folder (or click on the File menu
in Explorer) and choose New, you will be presented with a list of registered
file types that can created on the spot. Basically, Explorer will just create a new,
empty file (sometimes with a special template) with the appropriate extension in that
location. Most of us will not need to be creating new Ami Pro documents on the fly,
and there is a way to remove these unwanted entries.
1 -Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
2 -Select Find from the Edit menu, type ShellNew, and press OK.Every Sh, and press OK.
Every ShellNew that is found will be a branch of a particular file type. If that file
type is not wanted in the New menu, delete the entire ShellNew branch.
Repeat this for every unwanted tile type, and close the Registry Editor when finished.
Note: New templates can also be removed (and created) with TweakUI.
