Windows11, Tried to remove 'new bitmap image' from context menu (New)

In context menu, New tab has always 'bitmap image', which makes a new bmp file.

Many people tried to remove this from new tab.

 

Failed solution #1

Somebody said the reg file, with the follwing content, is a solution. However it does not work in Win11.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; bmp file - remove Context menu, New entry.
; Save this file as *.reg then run

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp\ShellNew]

 

Failed solution #2

I opened registry editor (regedit) to see if there is a reg value which occurs a 'new bitmap image'

Actually, It is okay for me to get a 'new png image'.

I tried to swap both data in .bmp and ,png, in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. (This address usually treats a new files of certain extension in context menu)

This did not work.

 

Canceled solution, due to my Win11 admin account problem

many others also failed and they gathered all ideas and trials in this site.

The steps I tried using some information on site above.

  1. Open regeit
  2. Search in regedit with keyword 'mspaint'
  3. It will lead to some other reg values with mspaint directory in it.
  4. Copy the directory from 3. Make sure it is only folder_location_directory. You may remove "(double quote mark) in each side and also remove 'mspaint.exe'
    example is, C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_11.2208.6.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\PaintApp\
  5. Copy exact directory in win_explorer_app(shortcut win+E) and move to the folder.
  6. Move to above folder just once. Now you are in folder named Microsoft.Paint_11.~~~
  7. Open 'AppxManifest.xml' file. I suggest you to use IDE to look and find easily.
  8. DELETE following line
    <uap:FileType uap4:ShellNewFileName="Assets\NewBitmapImage.bmp" uap4:ShellNewDisplayName="ms-resource:Resources/ShellNewDisplayName_Bmp">.bmp
  9. Restart and 'new bitmap image' will be eliminated from your context menu.

Step 2~4. copy that path from value data)=
step 5~7. move to folder which contains AppxManifest.xml


ACTUALLY, I FAILED in step 8. I failed to delete that one sentence in my computer. Changing folder permission not worked for me.
You have to get unlimited modify permission in WindowsApps folder. If NOT, neither modifying xml file nor exchaing it to a fixed xml file are not allowed 

Step 8. I failed to delete that xxxking just one line.
