Windows 7: Speeding up display of Windows menus

Windows 7 menus have a short delay when being displayed. To access the menus quicker, follow these steps.

Suggestion: When toying with the Registry, it would be best to back it up before doing any changes to it.

1. Launch the registry editor by entering regedit.exe into the search box in your Start menu.

2. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

3. Look for MenuShowDelay in the right pane.

4. Change the default value 400 to something lower like 10.

5. Doubleclick the item and enter the value. Confirm with OK.
