This Optimization tool provides some options for you to improve the speed of your Desktop Menu.

1. Start menu speed optimization can make the start menu open faster. We advise you to adjust this item to its best performance by using the regulating bar.
2. Menu running speed optimization can improve the operating speed of all menus. We advise you to adjust this item to its best performance by using the regulating bar.
3. Desktop icon cache optimization can improve the display speed of the desktop icons. This option is to set the maximum disk size for the system to put the icon cache file. Windows justification range is from 100KB to 4096KB, and the default value is 500KB. If your desktop icons often get mixed up, we advise you to adjust it to 2000KB. You can find the cache size already used by the system when you enter the page of this option and you should not adjust this setting to the level less than the size already used.

PS: The optimization tool will recreate the icon cache when you click "Apply", if the icon cache has changed. In addition, normally Windows puts the icon of an installed application in the cache file in order to improve the display speed. But it does not delete the icon when you uninstall the application. This function can help to reduce the size of the icon cache file. We advise you to use this function when icon display speed becomes slow or icon display becomes garbled. You only need to make a change in "Desktop Icon cache" then click "Apply".

4. If you stop visual effects of windows, you will lose some good visual effects but with this tweak, you can get a little speed increase.
5. Forbid the system to keep records of used applications, paths and files. The selection of this option can forbid the system make records for history information and improve its performance. We advise you to select this option manually before using it to optimize the system.
6. Setting Windows to adopt the traditional start menu and desktop can save system resources. If you PC's resources are poor, you are advised to use this option. (PS: This option is only valid to Windows XP/Vista)
7. Automatically restart Windows Explorer in case of any exceptions. If this option is chosen, Windows will restart Windows Explorer automatically when there is abnormal happening to explorer or any of its components. We advise you to select this option. (PS: This option is only valid for Windows2000/XP/2003/Vista.)
8. Create independent process for desktop and Windows Explorer. Windows usually sets a multiple thread Explorer process (including desktop, task bar, etc.) as default. This will cause the crash of one thread to lead to the crash of all other threads. This option will help to create independent processes for desktop, task bar, etc. (PS: If a Windows 9x user select this option, the system will pop out a "My Computer" window upon every startup, so we do not advise you to select this option. Users of Windows2000/XP/2003/Vista can select this option to improve the system stability.)
