Unable to Create New Folder

[Rosco]

I am running Win ME on an Athlon 900 with plenty of RAM. Suddenly in Windows Explorer I am unable to create a new Folder. Going "File" "New" the drop down box is up too high. That is the "New" is adjacent to "Shortcut" and the "Folder" option is one place above and not accessible. I have 22 items below "Folder & "Shortcut" none of which I really need. Example "M3 Animation Document", "Microsoft Word Document", Microsoft Excel Document", "PhotoBase Document" and so on. I have removed these listings from the Registry, but they quickly re-appear.
My screen resolution is 800 by 600. However going to 1024 by 768 shortens the list and the "Folder" option is now directly opposite the "New" and is accessible. However 1024 by 768 does not suit me. Also, being an older person, I had the screen fonts set to large (125%). I have now reduced them to 112% and the list no longer reaches the bottom of the screen and all is OK with creating a new Folder.

However, 1. I want the larger Fonts and 2. if this listing grows, it seems I am facing a solution of continuing to reduce screen font size.
The question seems to be how do I delete those items from the "New" drop down box?
Thanks for any advice, Ron (alias rosco)

Removing Items from the "New List"
How do I remove items from the list that appears when you right-click the desktop or a folder window and select New?
You can remove any item from the New list by using Tweak UI.
Open Tweak UI and select the New tab.
There, you’ll find a list of all the items in the New list.
To remove an item from the list, simply deselect its check box
Click OK.
Note: If you deselect an item, click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm, you’ll remove the item from the New list AND from Tweak UI’s New tab—meaning if you change your mind in the future and want that item back, you’ll have to go through a lot of extra steps to re-create it.
