Animated Windows

You can turn off window animation ("exploding" windows), displayed when you play around with minimizing/maximizing open windows. This makes navigating Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP a lot quicker, especially if you don't have a fast video controller, or if you got tired of seeing it all the time
To do this, In XP,

Right click 'My Computer, and choose 'properties,
Clcik the advanced tab
Click the first 'settings' button
Untick the 'Animate windows....' option
Click ok and ok again.


In older windows (98 etc) run Regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

or if you are the only user of your Windows computer go to:

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

Right-click on an empty spot in the right hand pane.
Select New -> String [REG_SZ] Value.
Name it MinAnimate.
Click OK.
Double-click on "MinAnimate" and type 0 to turn OFF window animation or 1 to turn it ON. Click OK.
Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows. Done.
