Effects windows has vanished, need registry alternative
I have an HP Pavilion with Windows XP Home Ed.
It's been having some issues with the system dragging so I was going to disable some of the menu transition effects, font smooting, etc... to help speed it up. So I went to Display Properties|Appearance tab, and clicked on the Effects... button, but the Effects window seems to have vanished. Menu transition effects, font smoothing, and shadows under menus are options that should be able to be changed manually through the Windows Registry, but I can't find where in the registry they're at. If anyone knows where they are and can tell me I would appreciate it very much. I'll probably have to reinstall Windows to get my Effects window back, but if someone knows another way to get it back, I would appreciate that too. |

Effects windows has vanished, need registry alternative
All the three options are vanished? or greyed out?
If greyed out, please post the contents of these registry keys: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Ex= plorer] -and- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\policies\Exp= lorer] To open Registry Editor, click Start, Run and type REGEDIT. It is also possible that the problem is due to the video card drivers. --=20 Ramesh - Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k AumHa VSOP: http://www.aumha.org "c.m." wrote in message = ...
