Menus VERY slow...

On my laptop the Start Menu and even IE menus are VERY slow to load and open. Using the pointer device this is a real pain. Is there a way to speed these up or improve the caching of them so the first time is slow, but after that they are fast?

Thanks!
 
No, but you can change the speed with which menus display every time:

Start - Run - Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \
in the right pane double click on MenuShowDelay and lower the value (default is 400 - lower is faster - 0 is fastest)

or use a third party tweaking utility such as tweakui, tweakxp or x-setup if you don't want to mess with the registry.
 
It's there and set to 0, but is a string value, is this correct?
 
Then, shoot, it hasn't helped. I made that change a couple of months ago.
 
What about a setting for navigating the menus? Is there a way for it to detect movements faster?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
