Making all files and folders open fast
Go to Start then Run
Type ‘Regedit’ then click ‘Ok’
Find “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\”
Select “MenuShowDelay”
Right click and select “Modify’
Reduce the number to around “100”
This is the delay time before a menu is opened.
You can set it to “0” but it can make
windows really hard to use as menus will open if
you just look at them –
well move your mouse over them anyway.
I tend to go for anywhere between
50-150 depending on my mood.
