I would love if Microsoft replaced the contents of that menu from being Windows Registry entries to being contents in %USERPROFILE%\Templates. So one could not only easily manipulate those oneself if needed but also add actual templates to create, i.e. not only truly empty documents. The menu entries would share names with the file names. Certain other operating systems/distros do it like this and I always found it a better idea than the current Windows way.
