April 27, 2007 by Jason

Although Vista is a major improvement over XP, there is one particular bug that has really upset me which is how slowly it moves or deletes files. In XP there were no problems moving big files.

Click the Start menu tab and click the Customize button next to whichever Start menu option is active. If you use the Classic Start menu, simply click the Clear button.

Now just click Cancel, Cancel—you’re not actually changing any settings.

If you need to automate the cleanup process, or if you must clear the Run list while leaving Recent Documents intact, you can do it with a Registry script. Launch and enter these two lines: Read More»
