Display Speed
I see no reason
for there to be any delay when I click on the Start Menu. Effects
are pretty, but I wouldn’t click on it if I didn’t have business
inside, so lets get it open and get moving. The default speed can be
adjusted with a quick registry entry.
The default
value is 400. Set it to 0 and the delay is gone, but it will be
nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate [All
Programs] if you mouse over it in route to your final selection.
It's easy to train yourself to move the pointer to the right after
clicking Start to avoid activating All Programs. Pick a number that
suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a
good compromise between speed and usability.
