After deleting ShellNew, the menu option throws me into Access and shows the 'create new file' window.
I want to remove the entry "Microsoft access database" from the 'create new' menu in Windows Explorer. The problem is that after deleting the entry, instead of creating a .accdb file, the option opens Access and the windows to create a new database. I want to completely remove the option from the context menu.
I want to unclutter my "Create New" context menu. I am removing entries by accessing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the Windows Registry, finding the corresponding filename extension and removing the key "ShellNew".
What do you mean by "the menu option throws me into Access"? Your title sounds like you may want to remove a context menu entry: why context menu, where? But the body sounds like you want it to do something different. Please use a few more words and clarify what you're actually asking. – music2myear – 2017-06-12T23:00:44.733

Also, what method did you use to remove this entry, and is there a particular reason you wish to remove this? – music2myear – 2017-06-13T16:05:23.497
