THERE ARE UNUSED ICONS ON YOUR DESKTOP ANNOYING STUPID MESSAGE

Tired of getting the message stating "There are unused icons on your desktop"? This is a behavior of the desktop cleanup wizard, another ignorant Microsoft annoyance that the bastards assume everyone wants enabled by default.

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Double-click on the Display icon.
  3. Click on the Desktop tab.
  4. Click on the Customize Desktop... button.
  5. Remove the check from the Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days checkbox.
  6. Click on the OK button and then click OK again.

 


SOME LAME PROGRAM FILLED UP YOUR RIGHT CLICK SHELL MENU

Remove the appropriate key under the following branch of the Windows registry: 

[-] My Computer
  [-] HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    [-] *
      [-] shellex
        [-] ContextMenuHandlers

For example, PowerArchiver is a real bastard about filling up the right-click shell menu with heaps of crap. Just delete the "PowerArchiver" key.
