Hello everyone,

May I know how I can get rid of the Window Animation (seen when you minimise or maximise a window) in Windows XP Service Pack 3 Permanently??

I have tried the following two solutions:

  1. I went to the control panel--->adjust visual effects---> then unchecked the "Animate windows when maximising and minimising" option.

2.I have tried using windows powertoys tweakUI to disable the animation.

3.I even tried this:

Turn Off Window Animation

You can shut off the animation displayed when you minimize and maximize Windows. 1. Open RegEdit 2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control panel \Desktop\ WindowMetrics 3. Create a new string value "MinAnimate". 4. Set the value data of 0 for Off or 1 for On

But still no help

The Big Problem is that the window animation will disappear for a while but returns again some time later. When I navigate back to the "adjust visual effects" window, the checkbox for "Animate windows when maximising and minimising" is checked again.

Thank you very much
