Simply don't use it, the graphics are already in memory so it doesn't cost
anything.

Simple: delete the Flip 3D icon in your quick launch, never press Windows
key + Tab. If you want to take it even further, simply enable the Windows
Classic theme.

That won't work on Home versions which don't have the Group Policy controls.

See
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/
for another method that should work for all.

Thank you Paul Smith for this information. I did not know this.

Thank you Andre Da Costa for your post. A few hours after my post, I
subsequently chose Windows Vista Basic under color schemes. Your post
confirmed my actions. Thank you.
