Default start menu sensitivity time

When I go to my Start Menu and Programes and put my mouse over a programe to
open up its files has changed from about a second to now about 8 seconds. I
have read the help in the forums and have tried their suggestions of windows
tweak and changing the hover time of the mouse but this doesn't work. I also
bought System mechanic and gone to start menu reaction speed this is set to
4832 miliseconds delay time I have reset this to the slowest and restartin
computer as it suggets but on restart and checking the speed it right back to
when I started. Can anyone please suggest another way of changing the speed
of my reaction time in the Start Menu.Thanks in advance for any help. Terry

Default Re: start menu sensitivity time

Change the Speed of the Start Menu

Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to >>>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \
Value Name: MenuShowDelay
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 400
(Values are all in milliseconds. 0 is the fastest, 400 is default.
A setting of 0 is virtually instantaneous.) I have mine set at 92.

Log off, or restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Or use TweakUI...

TweakUI
[+] Mouse

[[The Menu Speed slider control sets the speed at which cascading menus
automatically open when you move the mouse over them. The fastest setting
causes them to open immediately and the slowest setting is extraordinary
slow.]]

Download TweakUI here >>>
