do enable slow motion window animations

Hey all,
I've found a reg tweak to enable "slow motion" window animations. I've followed these directions:
1. Open up Regedit. 2. Navigate thru HKEY_local_machine, Software, and Microsoft. 3. Create a new KEY called DWM if it is not aleady there. 4. Create a new DWORD called AnimationsShiftKey inside the DWM folder. 5. Set the new DWORD that you just created to a value of 1. 6. 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.
When I hold down shift, the animations are the same. Does anyone know of how to get this to work?
Thanks!

Hello Will
Why post and try something that is unproven and especially a change in the Reg. Not a very good idea

It works fine, as long as it is done properly and you take care not to touch anything outside of the listed area in the registry. You can get some really cool effects with the animations shift key feature. I personally have added the following two (you can copy and past into notepad and save as a .reg file):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM] "Animations"=dword:00000001 "AnimationsShiftKey"=dword:00000001

It's slow-mo for me already and I don't have to do anything.

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for, Mark. I searched all over the net and could only find the instructions that I posted above. Thanks for the correction!
Mario, try this, and you'll see what we're talking about.
