[View FULL Article] Microsoft Windows XP uses many visual effects to provide a rich, friendly interface. One of these settings allows menus to fade into view when you open them. This visual effect is so smooth that you may never have noticed it; however, the effect does cause menus to take a little longer to appear.

To speed up menu display

1. Click Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
