Here's a summary of this paid article:
Here's the real Start Menu entry
By Woody Leonhard
In last week's article, I explained a Registry change you can make if you
inadvertently "improve" the Start Menu delay time, making menu items flash
so fast you can hardly click them.
I made a mistake. I said that the Registry entry you should change
was:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Desktop
In fact, I should've told you to navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
That's where the rogue MenuShowDelay setting resides. (The
default, leisurely, value is 400.) Check out my
Aug. 9
column for the rest of the details on the fix. Thanks to those who
wrote in to scrub my flub.
