How can i get the list of applications that appears on
the "New" option when i right-click in Windows.

I mean, first u right click, then select the option "New"
and u can see a list of items that u can create, for
example a winzip or a word file.

My question is how can i get that list?

Thanks.
 
The "list" is in various places in the registry. file types that wants to be
able to create a new file have a "ShellNew" entry in the registry.

The entry for winzip for example is in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\ShellNew where
there is a NULLFILE entry that causes a blank zip file to be dropped in the
current directory.

Here's a link that tells you how to add a new email file for outlook
express.
