Stop moving whole window while dragging

When a window is dragged, u can see the contents inside that window(in Windows XP), u can disable this as follows:
  • Open the registry editor
  • Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
  • In the right pane find the value name DragFullWindows
  • The default value for DragFullWindows is 1, set it to 1
For this tweak to take effect you may need to Logoff or Restart windows.

Increase the speed of your menus

Will decrease the delay in opening the menu, when u pause with your mouse on a menu.
  • Open the registry editor
  • Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
  • In the right pane find the value name MenuShowDelay
  • The default value for MenuShowDelay is 400, set it to any value less than 400
For this tweak to take effect you may need to Logoff or Restart windows.
