Fix Slow "Devices and Printers" Enumeration

For slow “Devices and Printers” enumeration (Control Panel), as the regular user:

Just remove Parallels redirected items (assumes default Parallels naming configuration):

Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices\*Parallels*'

Just remove Windows RDSH redirected items:

Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices\*redirected*'

To clear them all out (will be recreated at next logon; why not?):

Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices'
Don't forget to log out, then log back in to restore active printers.
