| | New file for uninstalled application I used to have a graphics application on my computer (RealDraw). I uninstalled it. It does not appear in my Control Panel listing anymore. But, when I go into Windows Explorer, right-click and select the "New" menu selection, I still see the option for a "Real DRAW Project" on the list. Is there a way to get rid of this? If I select it, I get a ".rtw" file, but no application can open it. While this isn't affecting the operation of my comuter (as far as I know), it would be nice to clean up. |
