Vista - Animation problem :(

I posted a message here a number of months back about a recurring animation
problem, but some placed the blame on my admittedly aging installation of XP.
However, that's not the case anymore!

I repeatedly have to uncheck Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Performance
area > Settings > "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing." But
something keeps turning it back on (nobody ever touches my computer except me)!
This is on a clean re-installation of XP. Is there any way to keep that
cartoonish option turned off permanently???

It would seem XP has been around long enough not to have such problems, but I'm
starting to think... (oh, perish the thought)... BUG!!!

You posted a Windows XP problem in a Vista newsgroup because?????????

Oops! Oversight. Please forgive.
