Is it possible, under Microsoft Vista Home Premium, to disable all the
unnecessary animations, colour schemes and other things that slow down
the system? If so, how?

What if I want to simplify the graphics even more?

Right-click on Computer, select properties. Click on Advanced System
settings in the L/H pane. Click on Settings under "performance". There you
can turn off ALL graphic functions...

HTH

Yup- Performance Options -> select Adjust for best performance.
It turns off all the eye candy.

Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools -> Adjust visual effects
