There you find the 97-2003 option. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/editing-right-hand-new-context-menu-in-vista#post-24659 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:26:29 +0000 bigminisachin1231 24659@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks, jd2066, that really did the trick!

For instance, I don't want to see an option for a new "InterActual Skin" anymore.</p> <p>Also, is there anyway to make it so that creating a new Microsoft Word Document in this way creates a 97-2003 .doc file instead of the new .docx file? Thanks in advance, guys. </p>
