Re: Switching between "Fade" and "Scroll" effects in Windows Vista

Actually, the information you provided me was how to turn on or off those
effects. Let me rephrase my issue: The menus and ToolTips are "scrolling",
but I prefer the "fade" effect. What am I to do?

Re: Switching between "Fade" and "Scroll" effects in Windows Vista

You need to edit the registry value named 'UserPreferencesMask' found under
this key:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop"

If menus & tooltips are sliding, it probably looks like this.

9e 2c 07 80 12 00 00 00

For menus & tooltips to fade, it should be:

9e 3e 07 80 12 00 00 00

You'll need to log off & back on for the change to take effect.
