Speed up Menus in XP

While using the start menu, you will notice a delay between different tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience possible I recommend changing some values, this will allow the different tiers to appear instantly.

Go to Start --> Run --> Regedt32

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Locate the key called "MenuShowDelay" and it is probably set to 400.

Change that value to 150.

Reboot your computer.

You should notice a slight increase in the speed of your menus.
