Did you know that, by default in Windows, there is a 400 ms delay between the time you press the Start Menu button and when the display process actually starts? You can easily remove this delay by making a simple registry entry change:
- Open Start > Run.
- Enter:Â regedit
- Click Ok. The Registry Editor will open.
- Browse to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop
- Double click on the entry “Menu Show Delay”.
- Change the value to 0 to remove the delay.
- Close the Registry Editor.
Now there will not be an imposed time on load of the Start Menu. This works for both XP and Vista, although I am not sure about 2000 (probably so though).
