ANIMATION ON XP.

Did you know 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 (like I did)


To do this,
-Run Regedit (or Regedt32) 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 type 1 to turn it ON. Click OK. 
Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows.    Finish
