How can I delete all the Microsoft Office items in the Right Click (on desktop) New menu (or anything else that finds it's way there)?

Ive done this before a few years ago but just forgot and cannot find it searching.

Some are irreversible, though, depending on the file type!!!
Or, until you install another handler!
Some of the changed entries simply disappear!

That's interesting . . . I do know they sometimes have a way of showing back up again but I saved the instructions where I can find them in case an update restores them.

I always use Alt-Esc N for Notepad

I now need look up getting rid of the snippet tool for screen captures. Or memorize the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl PrintScreen)

Never heard of it! Is that for the new Notepad?

My PrtScn key is mapped to ShareX Capture via Logitech Options+, but, ms-screensnip still highjacks it from time to time! Can't figure it out!
