C0deBreaker Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have looked all over this forum and several others but have not been able to find my answer. It could be that what I am using to search on is incorrect. Anyway, I would like a registry edit to disable the "Open submenus when I pause on them with my mouse" option. I hate that (especially on laptops) but have not been able to find the key for it. Thanks guys for your help - this is a GREAT site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Here you go!Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;Stop associated submenu popping up whenever the mouse passes over a menu item[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop]"MenuShowDelay"="65534" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0deBreaker Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 That is the only mention of anything close to what I was looking for. It doesn't really turn "off" the option just extends the delay. I checked that setting with the option checked and unchecked and it doesn't change. Standard value for that key is 400. Thank you for the help but I have this quest to find the registry key that is changed when you check/uncheck that and it is driving me crazy that I can't find it. Thanks again.

Yzöwl Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) Okay, I understand what your saying about increasing the delay only, but how likely is it that your going to pause on a Menu Item for more than 65534 milliseconds (65½ seconds)And, what aboutI am looking for......but until now I have only come up with......this is not what I require....... any more takers, thanks.Now try this!Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000000<EDIT>Also if it's your quest to find the key, how come we're doing the donkey work </EDIT> Edited February 1, 2005 by Yzöwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0deBreaker Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'm sorry - apparently I have offended you which was not my intention. I wasn't asking anyone to figure it out for me, I was asking if anyone had already figured it out. Thank you again for your information - it's very very appreciated. I tried several registry "monitor" programs myself without finding the key. I will just try to take care of this by myself as you have suggested, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) I wasn't offended, if I had been I wouldn't have bothered replying!We all come from different countries /cultures here and sometimes our individual senses of humour may come across differently to different people.It is a public forum, and the most common denominator between us is that we all want to learn something.Could you please let us know if the solution I gave was correct.<EDIT>I have tried it on mine, it removed the check mark, and works after a reboot. For laptop owners with a similar problem to yours, I would suggest utilizing both the tweaks I gave together, for the greatest effect.</EDIT> Edited February 2, 2005 by Yzöwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
