    Great little utility!

    I am finding an odd situation, though. Today I noticed that “Compressed(Zipped) Folder” was missing from my New context menu. So I found and ran your utility.

    Great for getting stuff I never use out of that context menu, but the odd thing is, that even with “Compressed…” checked in ShellNewHandler, it is STILL missing from my new context menu.

    And briefcase, which I never use, is not present in the list in ShellNewHandler, but it relentlessly appears in a “New” context menu.

    Any clues?

    Keep up the great work!
