Slow Down Vista’s Animated Windows

If any one dint liked the Animated windows speed in vista can slow down the animation. you can change a certain registry key and it will allow you to slow down the animation of windows (on minimize/maximize/close for instance) by holding down the SHIFT key while performing an action.To do so follow this steps:-

• Click the Start Orb and type Regedit in the search box.
  
  
• Click Regedit.exe at the top of the search results under programs.
  
  
• If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
  
  
• Navigate to the following key.HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsDWM

• Click on an empty space in the right hand pane and choose New DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  
  
• Give the new DWORD a name of AnimationsShiftKey
  
  
• Double click the AnimationsShiftKey value and give it a value of 1. Then click Ok.
  
  
• Close the Registry editor an logoff then log back on for the changes to take effect.

Now just hold down the shift key when clicking a flip 3D window or opening or closing a window from the task bar.Thats it !!

Nice trick Flux.. can it only be done with the shift key because the shiftkey normaly can be used to turn it otherwise…

But i think this tip has been kicking around since Windows Vista Beta 1 and I guess that it works on the RTM build (6000.16386).
