Microsoft Visio 2007/2013 Startup Delay

If your Visio takes an annoyingly long time to start up every time, popping up with Windows "Please wait while Windows configures..." dialog, follow these simple steps:

• Start -> Run (or Windows key + R): type regedit, click OK
• Delete following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.vsd

Visio should start without delay post change.  Thanks to user Michal0007 over at Technet.
