Ok, so here are the answers:
First of all, this feature applies to not only Document Libraries, but also to other Lists such as Tasks, Issues, Contacts, Links etc. In the default installation of SharePoint, the "!New" tag gets appended to every new item in SharePoint lists and remains there for one calendar day. An administrator who has access to the SharePoint server has two options when changing the behavior of this feature:
- Increase the number of days the icon should appear beside a new item in the list
- Eliminate the appearance of the icon altogether
..\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\60\bin
The "setproperty" command will be used for this task as follows:
stsadm.exe –o setproperty –pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv (number of days) –url (Virtual server address)
For example, use the following syntax to prevent the new tag from appearing:
stsadm.exe –o setproperty –pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv 0 –url http://(your server name)
Hope this helps!

So correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't this then change the !New tag for all objects on the virtual server that you're dealing with - not just a specific site collection or web application? Or can it be scoped to a site collection / site / web app?
You can scope this at a web application level. So suppose you have two web apps:
Portal.awbikes.com
Extranet.awbikes.com
You can specify the Portal.awbikes.com as the virtual server (web app) which will not show the !New tag anymore. The other one (Extranet.awbikes.com) will continue to show the tag.
Great post. Although a simple thing, I think almost every sharepoint admin has been asked about that green !New-tag.
I just linked your post in my german sharepoint blog.

Our hospital is currently using WSS as our Intranet and I have the following questions.
I have tested our SharePoint using the 'Expires' date and it is not working correctly, can you help?
1. I place dates to expire on some sites and the dates have past and it still show on the site.
2. We have a link to an EACH all Messages and the old message are not expiring. This is to 'cut' down on e-mails.
3. Any ideas on how lone the '! New' will still o new document?
Hope you can 'point' me in the correct direction on where I can find some answers.
Thanks
No it doesn't annoy me. It actually helps our employees identify the new stuff.
I'm looking to add an !Updated tag to announcements that have been edited or updated. How do I do that?

So how do you get the !New tag to show up on your RSS feeds site? If I make a new announcement in a list the announcement shows up on my RSS feeds site but the !New tag doesn't show up there like it does in the list library where I created the announcement. How can I make it appear in the RSS feed? Also can I add an !Updated tag to existing announcements that I've edited ot changed and it also show up in the RSS feeds site?
Hi,
I need to show "update" just like new keyword whenever the document is updated.Can you please guide me
