Removes redundant system-level icons
 
System-level icons are icons that are automatically created by the system when you install Windows, such as the Recycle Bin, Inbox, Network Place, and so on, some of which are not useful to users, but these icons cannot be deleted directly. Open Registry Editor, expand the Hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windows//currentversion/explorer/desktop/namespace branch in turn, Then delete the unwanted subkeys. Close Registry Editor, and after you restart your computer, you will notice that the system-level icons that you don't need on your desktop are gone.

If you use the start → run menu more than once, you'll find that its open window is cluttered with a bunch of commands you don't need anymore. Open Registry Editor, expand HKEY_USERS in sequence. Default/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/runmru Branch, delete the relevant key values from the right window.

Removes redundant keyboard layouts
 
Windows is trying to be the world's darling, so its keyboard layout is appropriate for the use of various categories of people in different countries. Open Registry Editor, expand the Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/keyboardlayouts branch in turn, and we can see that the branch holds the Spanish (traditional), Danish, German (standard) and so on a variety of keyboard layouts, if you do not have the keyboard layout of these languages, you can simply delete these subkeys.
 
Removes the extra locale
