Track Options Menu Conveniece Question

Is there some basic Windows trick I have been missing all these years to keep a menu list open while I change a number of parameters on it.  For instance, I open an old project and the meters aren't set the way I like.  I go to "options" in the track view menu list and click on "meter options."  I then click "horizontal meters" and the list immediately closes.  There are 4 or 5 other changes I want to make while that menu is open, like "RMS+Peak," "Hold Peaks," "Lock Peaks" etc.  But each time I have to reopen the menu.  Is there a way to keep it open while I check all the options I want to change?
 
I realize this may not be a Sonar-only issue but that is where it irks me (and aggravates the pain in my over-clicked wrist) the most since that is the program I use the most.
 
Thanks,
Bill
