There are allot f Windows XP's features that are, well, eye candy. If you can live without a few simple shadows or windows animations, this tweak will do the trick. Try it, if the performance boost isn't to your liking, just put everything back.

1: Start | Right Click on My Computer | select properties. (Or, just right click on the My Computer Icon on your desktop.
2: Click on the "Advanced" tab
3: See the "Perfomance" section? Click "Settings"
4: Disable the following:

Fade or slide menus into view
Fade or slide ToolTips into view
Fade out menu items after clicking
Show Shadows under menus
Slide open combo boxes
Slide taskbar buttons
Use a background image for each folder type
Use common tasks in folders

There, now Windows will still look nice and perform faster.
