Three Quick Registry Tweaks to Customize Windows Like a Pro

tweak 3 - Change Windows Start Menu Delay

The MenuShowDelay registry key sets a delay for different menus. This registry key is one of the most useless keys in Windows.

If, for some reason, you want your start menu to delay for 900 milli-seconds, then you do not need to mess with this at all. If you do, though, want to speed up your computer just a little more then here is how you lower the menu delay:

1. Go to “Start,” “Run,” and type regedit.

2. Navigate to the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

3. Find the key labeled “MenuShowDelay” and right-click, then click Modify.

4. Change the value to whatever you like. (The range is 0-999 in milliseconds.)

Hope these tweaks helped you get closer to a nearly perfectly tweaked computer! Are you aware of any other cool registry tweaks? Please share them in comments.
