re: Can I remove it completely? Thursday, October 21, 2004 at 10:36 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by doug (2 messages posted) My windows 98 somehow got corrupted after updating the drivers of an Nvidia video card...now i no longer have the option to create a "NEW Folder" under the file menu. While some people want to remove it, i would like it back, as i actually used it often. Any ideas? Or in Regedit, what are the values so i can add it by hand. Note: Ken said to find : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New "New" does not even exist in my registry...but Nvidia added a folder!! May have replaced it. thank you On Wednesday, April 14, 2004 at 10:12 pm, Andrej wrote: >YES! >You can remove it completely. > > To remove option NEW from right-click menu when you click on desktop, follow >these steps: >1.
