from what i can tell by burrowing through the source code, it doesn't seem
like there is any built-in support for modifying the listbox you speak of.
what i suggest doing is overriding the CDocManager::OnFileNew() function
(it is virtual) and implementing your own version.  you will also have to
implement your own version of CNewTypeDlg (the dialog with the listbox).
this would be the class where you choose what actually gets included in
the listbox.  the code for all of this in "DOCMGR.CPP".  use it as your
reference.

one of the best things i like about MFC is that they actually give you the
source code.  with a little bit of patience, and a lot of debugging, you
can actually figure out what the heck those people at MS are trying to do.
;-)

good luck!

Note: I use VC++ 1.5 (Win 3.1) so I'm not sure if the following holds true
for VC++ 4.0 but ... 

The listbox will display those doctemplates which were explictly registered
using "AddDocTemplate()". If you do not register the template, it will not
be included in the listbox (nor will it be available for automated doc/view
creation).  And, also, if you don't register it, remember to delete the
"m_pTemplate" pointer in your CWinApp::ExitInstance() function.

You can edit the resource string assoicated with the template and blank the 
third substring.  According to the docs, this will remove it from the FileNew
dialog box.

example:
IDR_A string 
before:
Book\nchecks\nCheck Book\nCheck Book File
(*.chb)\n.chb\nChkBookFileType\nCheck Book File Type\nCHBK\nCheck Book Files

after:
Book\nchecks\n\nCheck Book File (*.chb)\n.chb\nChkBookFileType\nCheck Book
File Type\nCHBK\nCheck Book Files

The help on CDocTemplate::GetDocString has more details.
