Ok, so you hover over the items pinned to the Win 7 menu, and wait all month for it to pop out the sub menu containing recent items opened with the selected app.

Is there a registry hack to speed this up? I want the sub menus quicker.

Same applies to the delay before things Control Panel and Administrative Tools pop out their sub menus too.

It just takes too long, so how to reduce that delay?
