desktop popup delay

Does anyone know of the registry entry that controls this delay:

On the desktop, I dragged a folder to the edge to make it become a menu popup. That's fine, except that it pops up instantly whenever the mouse touches the edge (which is often for me). Is there a delay setting that will change it to delay so that I must hover a second before it activates? I tried the common add MenuShowDelay to HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop tweak and it doesn't affect it, just the start menu.

Any ideas?
 
No. Yes:

TweakUI/Mouse/X-Mouse/Activation Delay: http://tinyurl.com/h8zs

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/General: Click items as follows.

Right click the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Open submenu's
when I pause on them with my mouse.
 
It looks like a follow-up posting of mine never made it on auto-hide... Well, I tried these and was hopefull, but here's why I think it's still not affecting it:

My missing post suggested that it would be the same setting that governs auto-hide of the taskbar. How can we slow down the taskbar response? It's the same idea, and in fact it has an auto-hide setting upon right clicking. That's what I'm trying to slow down. If a particular setting causes the taskbar (when auto-hid) to respond slowly to the mouse being moved to the screen bottom, we've got it.

For the Xmouse idea, although I love X, the taskbar isn't governed by the general window settings, so it behaves differently, and this would be drastic too.

For the explorer/tools/.... click as follows - your idea seems to end there....

The right click on start menu seems to be a third idea, and I did that too, but no joy.

I really think it's the taskbar auto-hide popup delay value - which probably isn't listed in the registry and has to be added somewhere. Problem is, like the others, it won't work unless you get it perfectly right ;)

Perhaps you know the special incantations <G> and my taskbar idea helps.

Thanks.

I added an update a few days ago and wondered if this thread was still active. If there's no fix, please let me know.
