How to clear hidden files under Vista operating system

The deletion method of redundant fonts and redundant backup files in the Vista system has already been known, so this article only introduces some of the ways to delete the "concealed". Note: Before doing the following, you should back up the Windows registry so that you can restore the system in time after performing the wrong operation. Delete the extra virtual drive icon When we installed the virtual drive in the system, there will be an additional CD icon in “My Computer”, even if you no longer use the virtual drive, the virtual drive icon will remain. It is really unnecessary. Let's remove this redundant virtual drive icon: Click “Start →Run”, enter “regedit”, press “OK” key to open the registry editor, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEEnumSCSI branch, in SCSI There are usually two sub-keys under the sub-keys, which correspond to the virtual optical drive and the physical optical drive respectively. All the sub-keys under SCSI are deleted. After restarting the computer, the virtual optical drive icon will be deleted. Remove redundant system-level icons System-level icons are icons that are automatically created by the system when you install Windows, such as recycle bins, inboxes, network neighborhoods, etc. Some of these icons are not useful to users, but these icons cannot be directly delete. Open the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\explorer\\Desktop\\NameSpace branch, and delete the unwanted subkeys. Remind everyone to close the registry editor, restart the computer, you will find that the system-level icons that are not needed on the desktop have disappeared. Remove the extra options in "Run" If you use the &starts →run" menu multiple times, you will find that its "open" window is messy 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 ​​of the right window. Delete the extra 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. Removing extra keyboard layouts Windows is trying to be the darling of the world, so its keyboard layout is suitable for the habits of people of all countries. Open the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\KeyboardLayouts branch, and we can see that the keyboard has a variety of keyboard layouts such as Spanish (Traditional), Danish, German (Standard), etc. Without the keyboard layout of these languages, you can delete these subkeys directly. Deleting extra locales Similar to the above keyboard layout, there is also the Windows locale. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Nls\\Locale branch in the Registry Editor. Simplified Chinese users can only keep “00000804&rdquo ; key values, others can be removed mercilessly.
