Menu Shop Delay

[Bruce Dew]

Default setting value is 400 for this key but my computer
consistently resets itself to 0. I would like to set it to
65535 so it only opens when I click on the menu item. How
can I stop it from changing.

You might get the desired effect by setting the Reg_Sz string value of
"MenuShowDelay"="400"
found at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
The value is expressed in milli-seconds. Valid whole-number values are 0 to
4000

I thought the range was a string value of 0 - 999. (milliseconds).
In any case an out-of-range value like 65535 will surely revert to a
defalt fallback value. Curious as to in which OS version 4000 became
the "max".

Thanks Dave. I tried some searches and it seems there are a lot of
"TIP" sites with conflicting, bad or incomplete information. Some say
0-999, some don't say a max. value and at least one says "65534". I'll
go with the MS KB article of course, but the OP might want to try that
"65634" value (not 65535) just to see if it works. Me, I use "200" for
the most part. It's possible that "999" was a valid maximum in W9x
pre-IE 4.01 perhaps (speculative).
