Speed Up That Start Menu 95,98,me, 2K, And Xp - Speed Up That Start Menu 95,98,me, 2K, And Xp

This is one of my favorite tricks, I do this on EVERY machine I WORK ON. I'll lay it out in simple terms so those who are not as experienced with a PC can also do this.

Click START, then RUN {pic 1}, then type REGEDIT in the "Open:" line,{pic 2} then hit ENTER

This will open up your Windows registry editor, next collapse the following tree

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop {pic 4}

There you will see an entry called MenuShowDelay

If you do not see this entry, then simply RIGHT CLICK...

If you do not see this entry, then simply RIGHT CLICK on the "DESKTOP" subfolder and choose New>String Value {pic 3}, then type "MenuShowDelay" exactally as I did, without quotations.

NEXT, You want to modify its value, change its value to 10

Most machines are usually set to default at 400, decreasing this time to 10 greatly speeds up the start menu and the sub menus it contains.

You'll see the difference by either logging out, or rebooting. And you'll love how much faster the OS seems to respond from just that simple change.

P.S. O.K. I confess, the picture doesn't lie, I cheat at spades on Yahoo! LOL
