Don't like how windows seem to grow out of the taskbar, then shrink down to it? You can turn this animation off through a Registry setting.
Follow these instructions:
* Start RegEdit by clicking Start/Run, and entering regedit
* Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
* Expand Control Panel under HKEY_CURRENT_USER
* Expand Desktop under Control Panel
* Double-click on the WindowMetrics folder under Desktop
* Choose "string value" from the Edit/New menu, and create a new string called MinAnimate
* Double-click the new entry, and enter "0" for the value.
* Exit RegEdit, and reboot.
That's it! The window animation should be gone from now on. |
