Make your windows minimize & maximize in slow motion in Windows 7
Just for the heck of it, you can make your windows minimize & maximize in slow motion in Windows 7 & Vista.
To do so, open regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
Now in the right panel, right click > select New > D-Word. Name it AnimationsShiftKey. Its default value is 0. Give it a value of 1.
Restart.
Now hold the Shift key down, when you are minimizing or maximizing any of your windows. You will see the animation in slow motion. Ofcourse if you don’t hold down the Shift key, the windows will minimize or maximize as usual.
This was originally introduced for carrying out demo and debugging work, but its a nice trick you can enjoy once in a while.
To undo the changes, change the value back to 0 or simply delete the AnimationsShiftKey.

Very cool!
In relation to this topic, how does one keep the Aero feature in Win-7 when you press Win-key and Tab together? ’cause when the keys are depressed, the first visible window just pops back again!
Me knows in Vista that Aero feature would remain with all the windows in Aero view… even after depressing Win-key and Tab.
Press and hold down Shift and WinKey+Tab to see the Flip3D effect occur in slow motion. Then release/press back tab key to see the flipping in slow motion.
It works when you close window too. Nice animation trick to impress friends. Merci!
