I have read that the default value for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\\MenuShowDelay
is 400ms. Currently, the value is 0ms. Using Regedit , I have changed the
value to 400ms and logged off to affect the change. But, when I log back on
I see that the value is reset to 0ms. I have observed the same when
restarting the machine. I can change the value of other keys, but not for
this one particular key, it seems.

Any ideas as to why I can not change this one value?

Thank you.

Are you clicking edit---modify---? What steps are you taking?

When using Regedit I have modified the value for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\\MenuShowDelay
in two ways:

1. I have double clicked on the key labeled MenuShowDelay which opens
window showing the properties and modified the entry for Value Data by
entering 400.

2. I have also selected Modify from the Edit menu as well as from the
right-click menu which presents the same form as descibed in 1..

I should also mention that I have tried to modify this same value using
registry editing programs like Registrar Lite and RegSeeker; all to no effect.

Thank you for your response!
