This is the file extension's ProdID. Set the Default value to whatever you would like the context menu new item to display as. Thanks Ben, this is the same as the solution suggested by Anders, which didn't do the trick for me.
Basically I have 3 filetypes I want to create a "new file" menu items for,. Yes, I noticed they were similar but Anders' solution didn't work for me because of, as I found out later, the FriendlyTypeName issue. So, I thought I'd post it as an answer. Oh I see, sorry, missed that. I just associated the filetypes in the standard Win Explorer options. I was able to derive a solution from the answers above. Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge.

ShellMenuView also gives you quick access to the registry entries of context menu listings. We had a few problems removing a stubborn entry for MagicISO, but using another program called ShellExView from the same developer , we were able to get rid of the annoying extra shortcuts. But obviously that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Feel free to share your custom context menu or any other Windows 7 tips in the comments. You can also easily edit Firefox's right-click menu with Menu Editor and spare yourself of unwanted items like "Send Link" or "Copy Email Address" every time you right click within your browser screen. Isn't that great? Did you know? User Comments: Add your comment to this article.
