MAKE YOUR MENUS LOAD FASTER

Posted Wednesday, December 10, 2008

This is one of my favorite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to

how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak does is remove

the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.

Go to Start then Run

Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'

Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"

Select "MenuShowDelay"
Right click and select "Modify' Reduce the number to around "100"

This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0"

but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you

just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway.

I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood.
