YES! You can remove it completely.
To remove option NEW from right-click menu when you click on desktop, follow these steps:

1. Start registry editor by clicking START --> RUN and type in regedit

2. Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New

3. In the LEFT editor panel right-click on this key named "NEW" and choose EXPORT; then choose some location where to export this key in case something goes wrong!!!

4. In the LEFT editor panel right-click on this key named "NEW" and click DELETE

DONE!

In case you need to restore changes for any reason, just find the .reg file you exported in step #3, double click the file, and entries are back in the registry!
