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.

Thanks, Joe.
I will give this a try.
