Speed Up the Start Menu
By: Arie SlobThis is an old tweak, it has been around since Windows 95, and is still alive today! If you think your Start menu could respond a little quicker try this:
- Start the Registry Editor
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \
- Right-click the String Value MenuShowDelay, and select Modify
- Change the Value data (0 is fast, 400 is default. These are all in miliseconds)
- When ready, press OK and close the registry editor
- Log off, or restart Windows for the changes to take effect
