Start menu slow to fill in
Sometimes when I open a submenu of the start menu (e.g. Programs) the
empty menu frame pops up almost instantly, but then there's a delay before the icons appear. At times it's as much as a second or two. It seems to be worse with the larger submenus. Once I've opened a given submenu, the next time I open it, it fills in immediately. But after a while the delay comes back. I had a similar problem on another system under XP, and never found a solution. Is there a solution in Vista? -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)

Hi Ray, Try rebuilding the icon cache, instructions he http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/11...e-rebuild.html Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that didn't do the trick. But the article you cited reminded me of something I read when I had this problem on an old XP system. There was a registry entry that set the size of the icon cache. Though it didn't help before, I figured it would be worth a try. The registry entry is: hkey_current_user/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/ IconCacheSize, and I set it to 4000. The entry didn't exist, so I created it as a DWORD, not being sure what type it should be. So far it seems to have done the trick, but I won't be sure for a few days. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)
