Registry Editing Tips

Aligning Drop-Down Menus to the Right

All Windows' drop-down menus will be aligned to the left of the menu item itself. It is possible to align it to the right instead. This features becomes useful when trying to access menus with submenus that appear directly to the right.

Open up the registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. On the right pane, create a string entry called MenuDropAlignment. Set its value to 1. Restart and you will notice that now all the drop-down menus are aligned to the right.
