Create a restore point.

Launch Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, and make sure
MenuShowDelay (right pane) is set to the number of milliseconds you want
Windows to wait before opening the menu.

If an error message pops up ("Cannot edit MenuShowDelay: Error writing the
value's new contents") when you try to change the number, right-click
"Desktop" (left pane) and select "Permissions...": click "Advanced",
double-click your account and make sure "Set Value" is set to "Allow."
