Remove “New” file types from the context menu in Windows 11

I switched to Windows 11 with a crunch. Terrible interface. Billy, why?!

In general, one of the crutches that you have to substitute in order not to go crazy – removing @#$% file types from the context menu “New”. It’s done like this (works on Win 10 as well):

• regedit
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
• look for the right extension, e.g. .odg (OMG, why does LibreOffice add his holey hats there).
• There, look for the ShellNew section and delete the hell out of it (Billy, they’re waiting for you there with a really hot pan).
