Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualE
ffects
Look in the right pane for a value called VisualFXSetting. This value has
options of 0, 1 or 2. 2 is the setting for Best Performance.
You can also apply this change to
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Visua
lEffects
to have it applied to all newly created accounts.
For the Classic Start Menu, if you're running XP Pro, you can enforce this
from the Group Policy Editor (Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC).
I've also written an application that can be used to apply most of the "per
user" settings from the Group Policy Editor in an XP Home environment
(doesn't include GPEDIT). See
www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows
XP Security Console. If you're interested, the VisualFXSetting could be
added.
