Switch off Aero interface automatically or program-specifically

Windows 7

You need to switch of   the Aero ef ects
in Windows for taking screenshots or
for some games, but using the display
properties dialog box each time is extremely teous.

This simple setting will ensure that the program 

runs without consuming extra system resources.

 You can automate this task by
means of a property in the shortcut
with which you can call up a specifi c
program, such as the Screenshot tool.
The programs get more graphics power
when the Aero is switched of . The PC
thus has a little more breathing room in
case of intensive graphics applications
such as games.
Search for the link to call up the relevant program on the Desktop or in 
the Start menu. Right click it and select
the context command ‘Properties’. Then
switch to the ‘Compatibility’ tab and
activate the option ‘Disable desktop
composition’ in the ‘Settings’ area.
Confi rm this change with ‘OK’. After
this, Windows automatically switches
to the ‘Windows 7 Basic’ color scheme
when you start the relevant program.
Windows automatically switches back
to the previous scheme as soon as you
close the program.
NOTE: When calling up Windows’ built-in
components, it is not possible to set
compatibility options. A shortcut to
‘notepad.exe’ is thus not suitable for
this trick.
