File and start menu problem

as in, they won't open on mouse hover- I have to click them to open.
Not dangerous, just annoying...

Is there a setting somewhere? I've looked at system settings and
tweakui, but don't see it.

Opening a file when you hover over it would be disastrous.

I agree with Pegasus that doesn't sound like a good function
Clicking is best

Right-click Start, Properties, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced, check
the first option.

Hmm. That didn't work. It was already ticked. Thank you anyway.

Occasionally the "indicator" will be out of sync with the actual
setting. Try "uncheck", Apply, "check" Apply, and see if that sorts the
issue.

Right click Start button, Properties...

Are you using the Start menu or the Classic Start menu?

Didn't help. I switched from Classic to XP style, rebooted, checked,
unchecked, etc.

Classic. But I switched back and forth, etc. Still not responding.
Very strange. I've never bumped into this.

For the record, this was caused by TweakUI v1.33, when setting menu
fly-out speed.

It doesn't look reversible w/o reinstalling XP from scratch.
'Upgrading' won't fix it-

at least on my machine.
