Description
===========
ShellMenuNew is a small utility that displays the list of all menu items
in the 'New' submenu of Windows Explorer. It allows you to easily disable
unwanted menu items, so this 'New' submenu will display only the items
that you need.
System Requirements
===================
* This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows
2000, and up to Windows 7.
Versions History
================
* Version 1.02:
o Fixed bug: if ShellMenuNew disabled a menu item, and then another
software created this menu item again, ShellMenuNew displayed this
menu item as disabled while it was actually active.
* Version 1.01 - Fixed bug: ShellMenuNew failed to display menu items
that have been disabled previously.
* Version 1.00 - First release.
Using ShellMenuNew
==================
ShellMenuNew doesn't require any installation process or additional dll
files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
ShellMenuNew.exe
After running it, the main window of ShellMenuNew displays the list of
all 'New' menu items found in your Registry. You can select one or more
menu items and then disable/enable them. If you are a professional/power
user, you can also select a single menu item, use the 'Open In RegEdit'
option, and then manually edit or delete the menu item in RegEdit.
Notice: When you enable or disable a menu item and then immediately
right-click in Explorer, you won't see the change yet. Only after you
open the new menu in the second time, you'll see the effect of your
disable/enable change. It's not a bug in ShellMenuNew, it simply the way
that Explorer new menu is loaded.
Also, be aware that under Windows 2000/XP, 'Automatic Desktop Refresh'
option must be checked in order to see the disable/enable changes. If
this option is not set, you'll see the change only after reboot. Under
Windows 7/Vista, 'Automatic Desktop Refresh' option is not required.
