Thank you very much for the free open source program!

Unsupported, on Win10 it works but I was not able to abilitate "new" for libreoffice files (apparently they are abilitated in the registry but still not present in Win 10 "new" context menù)

Nice easy single purpose program. It works, save me parsing the registry.
