Disable Aero inside Windows Vista

Disable Aero will in fact a positive effect and a negative. The good news is that memory consumption will be lower by about twenty megabytes. On the other hand, Aero is the tip of the iceberg in the composition of the display, i.e. support for the interface with the graphics card instead of the CPU.

Thus, memory consumption will be lower, but the smooth scrolling windows, transparency or the Flip3D should be abandoned.

Disable Aero in Windows Vista is really quite simple. Simply right-click on the desktop and select "Custom". We arrive on the properties panel of the display, and then click on "Color and appearance of windows."

By clicking on the blue line from the bottom (Open the properties of classical appearance), we could then choose from the dropdown the second option, "Windows Vista Basic." Suffice it then to implement the changes.

The interface will certainly be less pleasant, but it will also save precious minutes when you are using a laptop, especially if it is equipped with a graphics card type recent GeForce or Radeon.
