Assuming you have already turned off the Effects in the Display properties, Here is the meat of it. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ desktop. Click on the string named MenuShowDelay (or add it if it's not there by selecting New, String Value from the Edit menu) Specify 50 or less for its value, and close the Registry Editor when finished. You'll have to restart Windows for this change to take effect.
