Remove redundant virtual optical drive icons

When we install the virtual optical drive in the system, there will be an extra CD icon in my computer. Even if you no longer use the virtual optical drive in the future, the virtual optical drive icon will remain, which is really not necessary. We start to delete this redundant virtual optical drive icon: click "start → run", enter "regedit", press the "OK" key to open the registry editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEEnumSCSI branch in turn, there are usually two subkeys under the SCSI subkey, which correspond to the virtual optical drive and the physical optical drive, respectively, delete all the subkeys under the SCSI, and the virtual optical drive icon will be deleted after restarting the computer.

Delete redundant system-level icons

System-level icons are icons that are automatically created by the system when Windows is installed, such as the Recycle Bin, Inbox, Network neighbors, etc. Some of these icons are of no use to users, but they cannot be deleted directly. Open the registry editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ explorer\ Desktop\ NameSpace branch, and then delete the unwanted subkeys. After you close the Registry Editor and restart your computer, you will find that the unwanted system-level icons on your desktop have disappeared.

Remove redundant options in "run"

If you use the start → run menu many times, you will find that its Open window is cluttered with a lot of commands that are no longer needed. Open the registry editor, expand the HKEY_USERS\ .default\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ RunMRU branch, and delete the relevant key values in the right window.

Remove redundant options in find

Expand the HKEY_USER\ .default\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ Doc-FindSpecMRU branch and delete the relevant key values in the right window.

Delete redundant keyboard layouts

Windows tries to become the darling of the world, so its keyboard layout is suitable for the habits of all kinds of people in various countries. Open the registry editor and expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ KeyboardLayouts branch. We can see that Spanish (traditional), Danish, German (standard) and other keyboard layouts are saved under this branch. If you can't use the keyboard layout in these languages, you can delete these subkeys directly.

Delete redundant locales

Similar to the keyboard layout above, there is also the locale of Windows. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Nls\ Locale branch in Registry Editor. Simplified Chinese users can keep only the "00000804" key, and others can be deleted mercilessly.
