Hi friends,
I want to edit the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay" which has the default value data as '400'. All I want is to change it to '200', such that the menu shown while clicking the Start button, speeds up. I searched google and I found numerous results, but was not sure if to go with them becasue Registry is very critical and editing a wrong key could mess up my system.
Please help,
Cheers,

If you're going to write code like this, it's always a good idea to back your registry up beforehand anyway. That's what I'd do.

Why is it like that all your questions are somehow related to the actions which would usually be done by a malicious software.
I have serious doubts.
Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

What's so very malicious about editing the registry?

Oh come on, but this together with all the other things this "person" is doing and it all adds up to malicious software.
His denial of this fact means nothing, its evidence and common sense that prevails here.

I am not very active on this board and I hadn't known this was going on for some time. I just see he has reposted a query which I had answered a few hours ago!
I get the picture now!

I dont think like there's anything malicious in editing the Registry! Even great softwares available in the market edit the registry. Every good software will edit the registry. But how would you know that? You are insane and you never created even any single form application in your life, did you?

You're right. On its own there is nothing malicious here.
Put it together with
a) Hiding the window executing code
b) Making a directory inaccessible
c) Copying the currently executing application
and it all equals a malicious intent.
You will get no further help from me, but I reserve the right to continue to ridicule and heckle you.

Career! Career?
How the hell can you have a career?
Everyone in CP writes your code for you. You are apparently unable to perform the simplest of Google searches. You have no idea of how to design an application. For goodness sake, you even have to ask here about how to write a text file. You were not aware that a batch file is a text file, therefore indicating that you have not got clue one about the way a computer/operating system works.
I ask again, how the hell can you have a career?
As someone said earlier SOAD.

Scott has exactly got what I meant, although, not wishing to malign the earlier user, it would have been appropriate for this thread if he meant this[^].

You don't need any help with that. You're doing fine job of that all by yourself.

Have to turned to insulting people who know more than you now?
Yes, adding a registry for your application can be useful and some products use it but it is also widely accessible to malicious attack!
Your posts are raising red flags everywhere, you may intentionally be playing dumb to wind us up or, most likely, you don't know what your talking about. In which case you should go and do some serious research rather than coming here wanting mummy to hold your hand.
Lets see what is waving tiny red flags at us:
0) You posted a 'joke' about deleting a DLL file from the Windows folder.
1) You ask for someone to tell you how to "randomly" search for a file to be deleted.
2) You want to copy the executing file.
3) You're asking about batch files.
4) Hiding the executing window.
5) You want to edit the access of a folder.
6) You're now playing with the registry.
You cannot deny that all of those things put together are malicious!
Grow up, stop acting like an annoying spoilt child!
My failometer has shot off the end of the scale!
I seem to have misplaced my ban button.. no wait... found it!

You wrote so long for me! I couldn't believe that!!! Thanks for that, first. Secondly, it would have been better if you could have given be the code for doing so....

Not always. If you're saving settings, it makes far more sense to use the app.config file (unless you write a service, in which case you shouldn't need to save any settings anyway). My applications have an encrypted XML file which is read into a Settings class using Reflection and LINQ

That is entirely untrue, not every great software edits the registry.
The difference, every piece of malicious software that ever existed edits the registry. They lock folders, delete or edit dlls, copy from memory... wait a second, am I talking about malicious programs or am I listing your previous threads....
