A lot of people use the right click on Desktop Context menu to create a new
document.With installed Office 2007 you get the option to create for example
a Word document , default format is .docx.With the tweak below you can add
a .doc for Office 2003 to the Context menu.So you can create a new
Office 2003 document straight away from there :

- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.8\ShellNew\

Create here in the right pane a new DWord [DWord Value] entry
and name it :

Nullfile

(right click in right pane , new , DWord and name it as above)


Close the registry.Go to your Desktop and refresh (F5)
The new option should appear in the Context menu.


Same for Excel and Powerpoint :

Excel: - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8\ShellNew\
Powerpoint: - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ppt\PowerPoint.Show.8\ShellNew\
