   Nehmo Sergheyev to All   
   Quickly Loading the All Program Shortcut

   XPost: alt.os.windows-xp, alt.windows-xp, microsoft.public.windowsxp.general   
   From: nehmo54@hotmail.com   
      
   Windows XP Home, 1.5 GB RAM   
      
      
      
   When I click on Start > then mouseover All Programs, I get the list of   
   program shortcuts found it   
      
   C:\Documents and Settings\-user-\Start Menu\Programs   
      
   But sometimes on the mouseover, the system stalls for a few seconds   
   before the list displays. If I have gone to the All Programs recently,   
   it seem Windows already has the display ready, perhaps it's in prefetch,   
   ant it displays instantly.   
      
   So..   
      
   Why is it that sometimes there is a delay, and sometimes not? Is it   
   because of prefetch?   
      
   Is there any way to keep this little procedure rapid? Can I have the   
   Shortcut list always loaded in the background somehow?
