Hi,

Running Vista RC2 (build 5744).
When I click a 'folder' in the start menu, it takes a while before it
expands. Also, the CPU seems to be used heavily from the moment I click
the folder until it expands.
I already set "MenuShowDelay" to zero in the registry, but that did not
help.

Is there any way to speed up things in the start menu?


Regards,

Mark Veldhuis.

Ah, much better.
Went into the Start menu properties and took a closer look.
Disabled "Open submenus when I pause on them with the mouse pointer",
and the menu is much faster now.
Hope this helps anyone who experienced the same annoyance.

I really like the new Start menu!

I think it's absolutely awful.

I wish there was an option to have the old breakout cascading All Programs
menu.

Taskbar and Start Menu Properties>Classic Start Menu = the old breakout
cascading All Programs menu.
