| Disable windows flip in Vista Aero? I am annoyed by the thumbnails when I alt-tab in Vista, plus I know they take up video memory I could use elsewhere. But I can't figure out how to customize Aero other than colors and transparency that I get when I go to Personalization. Any ideas? |

I think the thumbnails on the ALT-TAB switching are good, and I use the powertoy to get the same in XP. I think you can switch them off here, but I am not sure: Right click on Computer, select "Properties" then chose "Advanced System Settings", and, on the "Advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button under the "Performance" section. Go to the "Visual Effects" tab; there you can choose options to enable or disable certain visual effects, very similar to the User Interface of Windows XP. ss. |

| Re: Disable windows flip in Vista Aero? I found the list of visual effects, but I have no idea what most of them mean. And there is no help or explanation for that dialog box. God forbid it should be user friendly. That would violate some MS code of conduct no doubt. Does anyone have any idea which one it is, or what they all mean?
