Speeding up Window's Start Menu
 

Click on Start, then Programs, and then mouse over the directories and you'll notice the annoying wait that takes place (unless you click each time) before the directories open up on their own. Does anyone know where in the registry I can set that wait time to 0 (seconds)?

There are a lot of Windows (XP) tweaks out there, but I haven't found this one yet.

i do

registry -->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Give "MenuShowDelay" a lower value

uhhps.. you'll need to restart or to log off/ on for the changes to take effect

setting it to '0' means no menu delay

Requires reboot, but works, thanks!

Default value is 0.4 seconds... (why?)

that gives me an evil idea.
next time you are on the friends computer, change it to 100.

True! They can still click, but I think most users wait instead, which would be annoying!
