Windows normally delays menus before they are displayed. For regular users this delay can become annoying, with this setting you to change the delay time or remove it altogether.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, named ‘MenuShowDelay’ and set it to equal the delay you would like before the menus are shown as a time in milliseconds.
Log off or restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: MenuShowDelay
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: 0-999 (milliseconds)

Warning: Always make sure to create a backup of registry keys prior to making changes. TweakXP.com accepts no responsibility for problems caused by using Registry Editor incorrectly.
1. Open Registry Editor and move to the following key, creating keys where necessary:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\
WindowsMediaPlayer
2. Find or create the String Value: TitleBar
3. Double click this value and enter the text you would like to appear after “Provided by”.
4. Click OK and close Registry Editor.
For example, In step 3 if I entered “TweakXP.com” the title bar of Windows Media Player will read “Windows Media Player provided by TweakXP.com”
Note: Values in Registry Editor are case sensitive.

If your computer does not turn off the power when doing a shutdown,
you may need to edit the registry. I have all the correct BIOS and Power settings and still needed to do this.
Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Edit the key PowerOffActive and give it a value of 1
You can do the same in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
