I don't know why I addressed the message to everyone. As always, you put your hand right on the answer. I would have said thanks earlier, but I've been playing with my power toys.

>Hi Ken,

>I use free X-SETUP utility from http://www.x-setup.net tp tweax my Windows, including New menu. You can also use Tweak UI utility from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx.

>>Well actually 2 questions.
>>
>>I dislike that in Windows explorer you cannot right click on a folder and create a new subfolder. If someone knows a way to add that option, that would be great.
>>
>>Because that is not an option for me, I add a folder by clicking on the folder I want it to be under. Then under the File menu select New, then Folder.
>>
>>When you do that, you get a long list of programs that the program developer decided would be useful. Not a single one is at that point and it slows up the menu that displays. As you own your PC and load and unload programs, it's get more annoying.
>>
>>I am running XP. I have backed up my system files and ran Regedit. There I deleted most of the entries in:
>>HKEY_USERS\{something cryptic and unique for each user}\
>>Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\
>>PostSetup\ShellNew\
>>
>>I found this directory by searching for a program listed as an option that I thought was pretty unique.
>>
>>After deleting the entries, I can open Explorer and the programs listed are gone, and the menu displays much faster, just as I wanted. But, I close Explorer, reopen it and the programs are back and the entries are back in the registry.
>>
>>Does anyone know how to do what I am wanting or make it so I can add the create a folder option by right clicking.
