Am getting Briefcase option with right click New selections and have removed
it from the registry,
it goes away but it comes back for no reason I know. I am not sharing or
syncing anything,
all hatches battened down. What setting in Vista (Ultimate) will make this
permanently go away
please?

To remove or delete Briefcase from the list of “New” menu items, run
regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Briefcase

Under the Briefcase registry key, there is a subkey named “ShellNew”. Delete
the ShellNew sub-key away with all its values.
