Remove Google Sheets, Docs, Slides entries from "New" context menu
Since I use Microsoft Office 365 on my Windows 10, 11 PCs, I never use the Google tools Docs, Sheets, Slides. Unfortunately I just need Google Drive and Fotos since my Google Pixel smartphone doesn't...
- I think I solved that issue: Within the registry HKEY_CLASSES delete the ShellNew subkeys of .gdoc, .gsheet, .gslides.
Hello G Sau
That is everything correct and infuriating. But I found the solution!
First, you have to find 3 keys.
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gdoc\ShellNew]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gsheet\ShellNew]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gslides\ShellNew]
Second, you have to remove all entries below (Default).
Third, you must be quick now! Right-click on the key (ShellNew), hit Permissions and a new window will open. Select Administrators (lowest entry in Group or user names), Deny Full Control and hit Apply.
I don't know why this Google Drive software is so aggressive, I just find the fact very disturbing and the company is not honest at all if you ask them for their reasons...
That's great, it worked for me too, thanks.
