  1. Open Regedit to edit registry: (Note: To open registry editor Click Start and then Run and type regedit and hit enter).
  2. Now Click the + sign of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
  3. Find the Control panal icon and Click its + sign.
  4. Now there should be a folder named Desktop. Click on it and you will see a lot of registry values in the right side.
  5. In the right side there will be a registry value Named "MenuShowDelay". If it does not then you can create it by right clicking there and then clicking a New String Value.
