vrmlguy's Journal: Windows 7 grips

Last week I got a new company laptop that had Windows 7 pre-installed. Today I finally figured out how to turn off all the fancy GUI stuff: Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make it easier to focus on tasks. About half way down is a checkbox labeled "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)", checking it gets rid of all the visual junk that happens when you try to navigate between windows.
