I've tried. It's marginally useful, but you have to dig through developer
forums on the microsoft website just to figure out the convoluted process
for adding something to the "New..." menu (or install a separate app that
manages it). Yet another feature that would be vastly improved by doing it
"the BeOS way" with something simple like having a /home/config/new folder
you could drop file templates into. Definitely a good example of a slightly
useful feature that is too rarely used and too complicated to be placed in
such a prominent place (especially with no obvious way to disable it).
