Windows explore File..New list

This is not important, nor PB, it just would be nice to know.

When in windows explorer (win2k) and with a folder highlighted, clicking on the File menu, then the New subitem list will display a list of options - New Folder - and a massive list of junk.

How did the junk get there in the first place (it has some really obscure bits and bobs, some from demos installed and uninstalled ages ago)

And how can I get it out? Can't find a way to remove the items.

Thanks.

They're in the ShellNew subdirectory of your windows directory.

Nice tip Proteus...

btw: shouldn't this be in the off topic area?

Thanks, Proteus. Very much appreciated.

And here we are, now in the OffTopic area. Man, LarsG, you sure get quick results! :)
