Changing popup delay of Windows XP’s start menu

I recently created a Windows XP SP3 slipstreamed install using nLite. There was an option to reduce the delay when the XP start men ushows up after clicking the start button. I set it to zero, but now I found out that I liked the old way with 400 ms more. The value is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay, given in milliseconds. Default is 400. Just change it to your likings.
