"New" is screwed up....

[Umma Gumma]

When I right click on my desktop to create "new" among other things I get
items that have long since been deleted. My computer came with WordPerfect
Productivity Suite preinstalled. WordPerfect itself never did run with
integrity. But I retained Quattro Pro because it did. But now I have
WordPerfect and Corel Presentation on the list. Where is the repository for
this handler? How can I edit it to remove the items that are no longer
valid? Thanks.

You need to reinstall the system, and start over. Every day you post some
new 'quirk' in your system. It's beyond believability that that many
'problems' are on one system, and you can't find starting over easier.

Umma Gumma,

Download and install TweakuiXP from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

When installed, click "templates" in the left-hand pane, and select (or
de-select) the options you want.

HTH Tony.

Know what I think I'll do? I think I'll reinvent the wheel...like you
suggest. <grin>

I acquired the freebee X-Setup Pro. That has LOTS of tweaks. All fixed now.
Thanks for the suggestion! Man you guys are sooo helpful!
