Usually when you click on the Start-Menu and then Programs it takes a while to extend the next menu.
The time between the appearance of these menus’s can be edited. The speed of the computer makes no difference at which speed these menus open up . It is a setting of Windows. Standard is a delay 400 milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 sec). It doesn’t matter how fast your computer is; it always has to wait for 400 milliseconds, unless you change it.
Click Start Menu
Click Run
Type in REGEDIT
The Regestry editor opens up ( Please don’t play around in there unless you know what you are doing )
Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Check if you see the value MenuShowDelay
If so, double-click on it and change the value to a lower number. 0 is no waiting time, 10 is wait 10 milliseconds, etc. As you can see this value is in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds is 1 second)
If not, make a new string value.
Name it MenuShowDelay.
Double-click on it and give it the desired value.
The maximum value you can give this String Value is the number 65534 (programmers know this as the Integet-limit)
