How to Disable Vista Aero Effects While Playing Game

No comments
One of the most appealing feature of Vista is of course Aero Effect. But like all other visual niceties Aero uses part of your performance, and if your machine is not state of art performance monster you are better off turning this effect while you are performing off the desktop jobs like playing games.

And here is how to do it:

Right-click on the shortcut of the game and choose Properties, and then the Compatibility tab ... Now on the Settings block check the box for "Disable desktop composition" in order to disable Aero the next time you use the shortcut.

Don't expect a performance boost after, you may not even recognize the difference. But still any increase is an increase :)
