TweakUI's MenuSpeed Resets @ Boot

[Larry(LJL269)]

Each time I set TweakUI >> Mouse >> MenuSpeed to a slower
speed it works until I reboot when it is reset to Fast. Im
using MS Explorer Trackball but I dont see a setting for
menu speed there. Nor do I see such a setting in RegRobot
which I dont run after TweakUI anyway.

I'm stumped and your help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks-
bye- Larry

It may be that the drivers for the device are putting the setting back
themselves when they initialise.

In which case a way out may be to find in regedit the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop key and highlight it; export (as
'Win9x/NT4 registry settings' rather than the default), and then edit
the file to leave just the

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop]
"MenuShowDelay"="308"


followed by a blank line, and with whatever delay suits you. Then put
that file in your personal Startup folder to get merged back to the
registry at logon (r-click Start, Open, and open the Program files and
startup to put it in). You may want to modify the file association for
.REG files, so as to add the /s switch to do it silently, and have Merge
as default, though this is not usually a good idea as there are no
safeguards

Thanks Alex for ur response.I have default app 4 REG file
set to be WORDPAD which I'd like to keep if at all possible.
Had a few Q's:

1-I'm assuming MenuShowDelay"="308" means 308/1000 of a sec.

2-Can I start REGEDIT in STARTUP and tell it a file to use
to replace? Namely in STARTUP have shortcut whose target
is:
C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe /:C"\My Path\My Delay",x1,x2
where x1 is code for replace & x2 is code for execute &
close & My Delay is REG file with only 2 lines:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop]
"MenuShowDelay"="308"

3-Where can I find the codes x1 & x2? Tried HELP file which
was no help I think docs on app parameters must be stored
where all my missing socks are

Comments/suggestions/corrections appreciated.
Thanks- Larry

Which would avoid the need to change the association to get in the /s switch.

Found same info on Reg edit @
http://www.tweakxp.com/display.aspx?id=1705 . I set
delay=500 with Regedit and on reboot it was back to 0. So
it's not a TweakUI prblm. However, Unlike TweakUI, I HAD to
reboot for change to have its effect which negated the
change. So this approach wont work unless the /S or some
other parameter tells Regedit to effect the change!!

assume that the default for the reg file association
is the default 'Merge', not changed to an 'Edit' as a lot of people do
for safety.

I merge keys in by File > Import & only change I made to
default Regedit settings was to associate REG files with
Notepad(not wordpad)

I'll attempt to put shortcut to Regedit in STARTUP. On this
OS every tile I boot I BU registry so my butt's covered.

Thanks for all the help Alex. Larry

is the default 'Merge'

Wont I have to worry about deleting existing value?

I'm going to forge head with this approach & if it fails,
write macro to run Regedit. I need to know more about app
switches anyway.
