In the situation where a DFK is given and the defender is standing, let's say 5 metres back from the ball.
The attacker decides to take the free kick quickly and kicks it straight at the defender.
What do you do?

Hopefully you have managed the kick in the first place and ensured the defence is back the required distance, I try to tell them to get back or away from the ball quickly, however, if is deliberately kicked into the defender before this happens then I think I would let play continue as long as the defender does not try to play at the ball.... It's a tricky one and I'd like to think that I would manage this before it happens.

If the defender is walking back to get back 10 and the attacker kicks the ball into him deliberately before he gets back 10, the attacker has either done this careless, reckless or with excessive force. Free kick to the defender because the attacker deliberately kicked the ball at an opponent and appropriate card for the attacker (yellow for reckless and red for excessive force and no card if it was careless). If however the defender makes no attempt to get back 10, in other words he is preventing the restart of play, and the attacker kicks the ball into him deliberately either careless, reckless or excessive force, the defender is cautioned for preventing the restart of play and I award an indirect free kick to the attacking team. If the kick by the attacker was reckless, yellow. If the kick was with excessive force, red. Indirect free kick to the attacking team because the defender committed the first offence by failing to get back 10 yards.

I suppose I was thinking that the kick was not any of the Careless, Reckless, or Exceissve Force options
The law 13 instructions seem to say play on in this situations

I usually get in early and tell defenders standing on the ball "Stay there and its a card". If they still stay there (or wander back very slowly), I follow through with the caution. Once the teams see you act on it once, you never have to do it again. I have often been thanked for this action. Works for me.

pj, I think it should be play on under the LOTG.
I do not think it is ok to caution someone when the attacking team decides they are going to take it quickly and they muck it up and kick it straight at the defender.
I like your idea about managing it to caution but, I disagree, I think we have to let the game go on based on the question I asked and the Law 13 Instructions.
I think it is a good idea for you to follow through with the card option if that was the right thing to do.
However, is there a different way to manage the situation so you do not paint yourself into a corner having to give cautions?
Perhaps you could warn them, using less certain words such as, "if you stay there, I might have to show you a yellow for that"

I agree, it is good to get on top of it and be tough for even something as simple as the distance at free kicks. Managing this area early helps game control for sure I agree, and the other team, they see you being confident and know what is going on so this helps the whole match.
The little things like managing this well are a good idea.

I should add, that once you identify that you know their intent (to delay the restart) they give future kicks much more room. I rarely have to follow through as they know I'm onto them. It might be once a season to a player that just cannot learn.
For me, standing on the ball at free kicks is a pet hate (an ex player thing) and can easily lead to loss of control for that moment as players jostle for position and the defenders try to keep in front and delay the restart. I don't see why I should let the defence be allowed to disadvantage the attackers twice. Once by the initial foul and again by standing on the ball until their defenders get in position.

PJ is right, warn the 1st offender if they do not prevent restart and everyone is on notice. It stamps it out early.
As for the decision two possible answers:
1) Player is trying to delay restart. Warn player to move back and if it fails caution.
2) Team takes it quickly and not given time to retreat. Play On! LOTG clearly state is bad luck if taken quickly and hits an opponent who is trying to retreat.
