    Hi,
    Open regedit and go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop". On the
    right pane, look for an entry named MenuShowDelay and set its value to 0 for
    the maximum menu popup speed.

    Tweak UI for WinXP also lets you change the menu speed.

    HTH.

    I remember in Win95/98 there used to be a setting in the
    registry that you could change to make the Start menu's
    sub-categories popup instantly. Right now there's an
    annoying delay when you mouse-over All Programs before the
    contents actually get displayed. Happens with all sub-
    menus actually. How do I cut the lag time out? Thanks in
    advance.

    hi, that is simple look for this key in your registry
    "menushowdelay" the default value for this key is 400. you
    can experiment it by changing its value to your preference.

    Hi,
    Select the Menu section on the left and on the right you have the menu speed
    control.
