Description wisepenguin 2006-08-28 12:16:34 UTC 
After a successfull OpenOffice 2.0.3 installation, new entries are created in 
the ShellNew menu. (e.g. Right click desktop->New). i believe it happened in 
earlier releases too.

i personally do not need these items and would like to be given the option 
whether or not to install these. this will keep beginners happy as they can 
still be installed and advanced users happy if they are not needed.

they are not needed because when setting explorer to show file extensions
only the text file entry is needed as any file type can be made. this speeds up 
loading the context menu and reduces clutter.

thanks

Shurely not a defect as OOo works as designed.

reply.
