What is it your are doing and what is it you are trying to do (not always the same
thing :-)).

?? Are you making a joke, or is that really something I'm supposed to understand...?

Sorry for the delay... (This is what happens when we fall behind in email!)
As far as I can tell, I was referring to this Annoyances.Org article:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article05-011
When I followed its advice (editing the Registry to remove unneeded commands from
the Windows context menu's "New..." submenu), the entries kept returning. It must've
been some XP registry-protection thing.
Since then, I've found I can effectively manage the "New..." menu by installing Microsoft's
free TweakUI utility (http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui). Its "Templates"
page lets you unselect any of the "new file" types you don't need.
Cheers, Ander
