Not sure what this is called, but how do I get new windows to snap

open instead of the "flowing open" animation?

    Open Control Panel, open Performance Information and Tools, click Adjust

    Visual Effects in the left column under tasks. I believe, if you remove the

    check next to "Animate Windows When Minimizing or Maximizing" and click

    apply and ok that should achieve the results you desire.

    You're welcome. The visual effects descriptions are pretty self explanatory

    but you can find some additional information with a Google search on Vista

    Visual Effects and still some more using Windows Visual Effects since many

    of the effects carried over from XP.

    Thanks again. I take it Microsoft has no help page explaining these?

    Dunno about the self-explanatory part for things like "enable desktop

    composition"

    When I Googled Desktop Composition, I found this:

    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa969540.aspx

     

    If there are others about which you need information, try a Google search on

    them. I didn't find one all encompassing MS site but links to various MS

    information about specific items such as the above.
