Had you ever forget to make the backup of the registry before making some
changes in it, which led to system crash? Every time you need to make changes to
your registry, you should make a backup as a precaution. Making a backup is very
important and helps the user when he wants to restore the changes he made.

Exporting – Making a Backup

In order to backup your registry, follow  these simple steps:

In Windows 7 / Vista: Open Start menu, type
regedit in Start Search and click OK.

In Windows XP: Open Start menu, click Run,
type regedit and select OK.

In Registry Editor go to the File Menu and select Export.

Under the export range select All.

Put an appropriate file name and save as file type Registration
Files(*.reg).

Importing – Restoring the Registry

In Registry Editor go to the File Menu and select Import.

Now select the registry file(backup) that you made(using above procedure) and
it will recover your settings that were before you made changes in the registry.

Have you noticed that some applications like Antivirus, WinZip, and others, add
some items to the context menu when you right-click on a file or folder?

Apart from above, these software install shell extensions to add applications
in the right-click context menu. If you delete the appropriate shell extension
in the registry, you won’t get these additional menu items.

I am trying to remove the Open Presentation and Open Drawing items from the
Right Click “new” menu.

Note: Make sure you have made a proper backup
of your Registry. In case you have mistakenly removed the wrong folder, the
backup will come handy in restoring the lost folder.

to remove the New OpenDocument Text
from the menu, go to Registry Editor:

HK_CLASSES_ROOT > .odt > opendocument.WriterDocument.1

There you will see the ShellNew entry,
remove it. After you do it, refresh your desktop and you won’t see the New
OpenDocument Text entry anymore. Do that for any of the other filetypes you want
to remove.
