Under the following key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache


I find many references to components (both removed and not). What is the purpose of MuiCache anyways?

This is your beloved Windows keeping track of every program you've ever executed. Why? I don't know, supposedly for some language-related purpose. I wish it was some spyware-tracking feature, but it isn't. It's hopelessly useless.

Maybe it is used in non-English versions of windows, but I doubt it - it's too much more work to search the cache, when windows could just look up the values (names) of executed programs - and it does. Same work twice?! And you wonder why you need new computer. ;)

This is genuine bureaucracy - 'we have to keep track of this and that, even if we don't use it'.

And it's not just default user, it's every user. :)
