When I right-click on my desktop, the Contextual Pop-Up Menu (CPUM) appears. And it’s a looooong mother.

I’ve got options I like, such as Video Modes and Properties, and things I don’t like at all, like Active Desktop.

Then, in the “New” sub-menu of the CPUM, there are literally, dozens of items! “New Folder” is a must. “New Shortcut” is OK. “New WinZip Document” I don’t mind.

But “New Office Binder”?! “New Act! Report Template”?!?

How can I get these things to go away? Just because a demo of Trellix Web Designer came with my PC (and I deleted it, _fast!_) does not mean I want the option of creating a “New Trellix Web Design Studio (Demo) Document” every time I try to create an Empty Folder!!! :rolleyes:

Help?

Get [TweakUI](http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui). It’s free, and one option lets you remove options from the “New” menu.
