Speeding up Windows XP Menus

You can speed Up Windows XP a little bit by using registry tweaks and such, changing the way programs run e.g disabling splash screens. This tip will make your machine feel faster, by increasing the speed with which menus load, by removing the delay between clicking on a menu and that menu being displayed, which is enforced by XP.

To enable this tweak do the following:

1. Go to the Start Menu and then click on ‘Run’
2. Type in ‘Regedit’ then click on ‘Ok’
3. Navigate to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\’
4. Once you’ve found this registry key, select ‘MenuShowDelay’
5. Right click on ‘MenuShowDelay’ and select ‘Modify’
6. Lower the speed to somewhere between 100 and 400
7. Close the registry editor
