this item from the windows registry guide may be of help to you:
"Removing Item Types from the New Menu (All Versions)
=====================================================
Category: Home > Windows > Desktop and Explorer
When you right-click on your desktop or other selected applications there is a New sub-menu which contains a list a default templates. This list can be modified to include only the templates you want.
Each template exists in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive associated with a file extension. Whether it is visible or not in the New menu is controlled by whether the related entry has a sub-key called 'ShellNew'.
For example on the New menu there is usually an entry for "Text Document". This is visible because of the key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew] If you were to rename the key so it no longer had a sub-key called 'ShellNew' by changing it to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNewOld] it would disappear from the New menu.
Open Regedit, and using the Find function (Ctrl+F) search for any values of 'ShellNew'.
Several should be found under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive, if you do not want them to be displayed rename 'ShellNew' to 'ShellNewOld'.
Changes should take effect immediately. "
There ya have it!

thank you, rick. Your answer is so detail.
two more cases:
case 1: I installed tons of drunky softwares. When i right-click the mouse button on a highlighing file,
it pops up tons of choices. How to add or remove some of them?
case 2: When i right-click the mouse button on an empty space, then point to "new", it pops up some
choices, how to add or remove some of them?
appreciated

Actually, I didn't read my answer very well because that only shows you how to remove the items under "New" on the right click menu.
Go to this website for a great guide on doing anything you want to the right click menu including taking out the unwanted options.
Customizing Right-Click Menu Options in Windows
This worked for me because I realized I had some of those options that I wanted gone.
