Slow down the Windows animations when holding Shift
If you are using Windows Aero, there is a neat little registry trick that allows you to slow down the minimize/maximize animations when holding down the Shift key on your keyboard. In order to do this, we will need to modify the registry.

Press the Windows Key + R combination on your keyboard to display the Run dialog.

Type “regedit.exe” (without the quotes), and then press OK.
If User Account Control prompts you to allow the action, click on “Continue”.
Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM”.

In the right hand side, right click on an empty space, hover over “New”, and then from the menu that appears, click “DWORD (32-bit) Value”.

Give the new DWORD value a name of “AnimationsShiftKey” (without the quotes).
Double click on the DWORD and then give it a value of 1.
Press OK.
Close the Registry Editor.
Log off of Windows and then log back in again.

Hold the Shift key and minimize or maximize a window. You will notice that the animation is slowed down. To stop this, simply let go of the shift key on your keyboard.
This trick can be addictive, especially with Windows Flip3D. Don’t say we didn’t warn you, we cannot be held accountable for any eye-candy addiction you may have following the usage of this tip.
