This should work in Windows 98, ML, XP Home and XP Professional

I have been looking for this tip for some time. So I think, it is worth a seperate thread:

Adding items from the windows right click menu:


Copy and paste the following into a text editor and save it as "Php.reg". Use the quotes as well so it wont get saved as php.reg.txt.


Code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php\ShellNew]
"NullFile"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\php_auto_file]
@="PHP File"


Just double click on the new reg file to merge it into the registry. php file should now be added the the New menu.
This would add a new php file option in your right click menu, which will open with the associated program with .php extension .

Removing items from the windows right click menu:

Open regedit, and go to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ext] and delete the subkey Shellnew.

You could also do it from a command prompt:

If you wanted to delete 'Photoshop image', enter this:

reg delete HKCR\.psd\Shellnew

Also, Tweakui can be used to remove things from the new menu:

Launch tweakui, and go to Templates.

Thanks emm for the nice trick. I notice that after installing few softwares my right click menu is 2 column! I guess I really needed to edit the right click menu.
