This PowerShell script **clears the cache**, **resets the database**, and **optimizes performance**, ensuring a **faster and smoother navigation experience**.\n\n## 🔧 How It Works\n✅ Deletes the `Bags` and `BagMRU` registry keys, which store folder view settings.  \n✅ Recreates the `Bags` key.  \n✅ Creates a subkey called `AllFolders` inside `Bags`.  \n✅ Adds another subkey called `Shell` inside `AllFolders`.  \n✅ Sets a string value (`FolderType`) to `NotSpecified`, preventing unnecessary metadata storage.  \n\n## 🚀 Usage\n\n### Running the Script with One Command\n- For a faster and easier experience, simply run the following command in PowerShell:\n    ```powershell\n    irm \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strakerbit/windows-explorer-optimizer/refs/heads/main/optimize_explorer_perfomance.ps1\" | iex\n    ```\n\n### Running the Script Manually\n1. **Download the script** (`Optimize_Explorer_Performance.ps1`).\n2. **Run PowerShell as Administrator**:\n   - Press `Win + X` and select **Windows Terminal (Admin)** or **PowerShell (Admin)**.\n3. **Allow script execution (if needed)**:\n   ```powershell\n   Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process\n   ```\n4. **Execute the script**:\n   ```powershell\n   .\\Optimize_Explorer_Performance.ps1\n   ```\n\n## 🖥️ Compatibility\n- **Supported OS**: Windows 10, Windows 11  \n- **Permissions Required**: Administrator privileges  \n\n## ⚠️ Disclaimer\n⚠️ **Use at your own risk!** Modifying the Windows Registry can impact system behavior. Always create a backup before making changes.\n\n## 📜 License\nThis project is **open-source** and released under the **MIT License**.\n\n## 👤 Author\n[Straker](https://github.com/strakerbit)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F0xstraker%2Fwindows-explorer-optimizer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2F0xstraker%2Fwindows-explorer-optimizer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F0xstraker%2Fwindows-explorer-optimizer/lists"}
