Change the Start Menu Speed

You might want to change the delay you notice when you click the Start menu. The default speed can be adjusted with a quick Registry hack. Go to the Registry folder

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

and find the key MenuShowDelay. The default value is 400. Set it to 0 to remove the delay completely, but if you do that, it will be nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate ‘All Programs’ if you mouse over it while going to your selection. Pick a number that suits you, make the change, and test it until you find a good compromise between speed and usability.
