W7 taskbar>toolbar>'desktop' extremely slow

(1/7) > >>

Curt:
My 64-bit Windows 7's taskbar's toolbar for the desktop is taking half an eon (20 seconds) to show the shortcut icons, when "cold", even though I have less than a hundred shortcuts for it to find. How come? Is there a setting somewhere that I should change?

I noticed that running CCleaner really helps, but I don't know which of the many options caused it. After some hours it only helped a little, and the next day it no longer helped at all. Of course I can put CCleaner into Start, but I would prefer first to understand which setting in CCleaner is doing the miracle, so I don't have to activate too many options - and/or,  how to make W7 taskbar > toolbar > desktop  stop wasting my time. Do 'you' know the answer(s) I am looking for?

  :tellme:

Also it would be good to know if CCleaner > (system) "delete temp files" will let young files be and only delete older files.

I don't know the answer.  But it sounds like a good question for this forum:

A lot of MS MVP types hang out on that board.

Have a look under Options > Advanced.

The default action is to leave windows temp less than 24 hours old. I just noticed there is also an option (not default) to leave Recycle Bib contents less than 24 hours old.

You may try this solution:

Even if it doesn't work, it shouldn't hurt anything. But I would make a restore point just to be cautious.
