New window opening

[Steve]

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.

Thanks! Are the various Visual Effects options explained somewhere?

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:

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.
