i am creating a wizard. i want it to appear in the File>New category
itself and not in the 'others' category.
so how do i specify the path in the category? so the name of my wizard
appears right there and not in the 'others' category.

in your plugin.xml, set the point to org.eclipse.ui.newWizards
If it's a project wizard, set project=true as well

I think this only works for "new project" wizards.

If you create your custom perspective, then you can add them to
the file menu. Look at the java browsing perspective as an example.

Actually Dave's response is right on. More specifically it appear what you
are asking is how to define a new category. Your wizard would then go in
your new category. For example, from your plugin.xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
<category
name="My New Wizard Category"
id="com.yourcompany.wizardcategory">
</category>
<wizard
name="My new Wizard"
icon="images/icon16_full.bmp"
category="com.yourcompany.wizardcategory"
class="com.yourcompany.package.<classname>"
id="com.yourcompany.wizardid">
<description>
Creates a new ...blah-blah-blah thingy.
</description>
</wizard>

HTH,
