A Faster Start Menu

I see no reason for there to be any delay when I cl ick on the Start Menu. Effects are pretty, but I w ouldnt click on it if I didnt ha ve bu siness inside, so lets

get it open and get moving. The default speed can be adjusted with a quick registry

entry.

The d efault value is 400 . Set it to 0 an d the delay is gone, but it w ill be nea rly

impossible to move the mo use fast enough no t to activate [All Programs] if you mouse

over it in route to your final selection. It 's easy to train yourself to move the pointer

to the right after clicking Start to avoid a ctivating All Program s. Pick a num ber that

suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a good compromisebetween speed and usability.

WHY DO INSTALL PROGRAMS ASK ME TO

CLOSE EVERYTHING ELSE?

When you install software on your machine, you are usually asked to close

the other running.

1.1.1.1.Some install programs require you to reboot your operating system whenthe install is done. So, you would have to close the other programs down

anyway.

2.2.2.2.Some install programs may modify parts of the programs currentlyrunning, and may even modify part of your operating system. You may

think, "Hey, I'm running a word processor. Why should installing a

spreadsheet require me to close my document?" Unfortunately, with

today's world of programs consisting of dozens, perhaps hundreds of

pieces, there may be code shared by your word processor and the

spreadsheet that you are trying to install.

3 .3.3.3.W hat if the install program crashes? Installer programs are noto rious formodifying key Operating system components. They might modify

something that causes your system to Crash and any w ork you may h ave

done in your currently open applications would be lost. So play it safe -

close dow n other ap plications before running installers.
