Many people have by now enabled the Aero Glass Interface on their Vista computers.  But did you know that it is possible to hold down the shift key while closing, opening, and minimizing a window to see the animation in slow motion?  If you would like to try this out just follow these steps.

Open Regedit

Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine – Software – Microsoft.

Create a new KEY called DWM if it is not aleady there.
Create a new DWORD called AnimationsShiftKey inside the DWM folder.
Set the new DWORD that you just created to a value of 1.

Restart your computer for the effect to activate.

Once you have restarted, just hold down the shift key to see any of the window animations in slow motion.
Alternatively, you can download the reg key here and apply it.  Once you apply it restart your computer.
