The actions of the menus are controlled by the MenuSetup.tr file. The file 
is in SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources or the platform-specific 
subdirectory. The action associated with each of the menu items can be any 
frontend command. Change the line:

Item["&New", "New", MenuKey["n", Modifiers->{Control}]]

to

Item["&New", FrontEndExecute[{NotebookCreate[WindowSize->{100,100}]}], 
MenuKey["n", Modifiers->{Control}]]
