Enable change in reaction timing of start menu.

This setting enables you to change the reaction timing of the start menu.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

This setting enables you to change the reaction timing of the start menu after it is displayed. The default value for the "delay in appearance" timing is 400 ms, the longest time is 65535 ms (which means that you have to wait for a click) and the shortest possible value is 0 ms (no delay).

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, right-click and modify the String value “MenuShowDelay”, in the right panel. Right-click and modify the value between the range 0-999 in milliseconds to enable the setting.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
