It's possible completely turn off cleartype at Vista?

Can I completely turn off cleartype at Vista and WITH Aero at the same time?
I changed all system appearence fonts from SEGUI to Tahoma (like XP), turned
off ClearType, but there are still some menus and windows at programs, where
is still ClearType active and parts where not.

I DONT NEED ANTIALIASING AT MENUS, PROGRAMS DIALOGS etc.. it's
anti-productive and not sharp like system fonts.
Cleartype antialiasing is good at web or at text window, but no at windows
dialogs and menus.

I worked with Windows many yaers and always turn on only standard
antialiasing and off Cleartype (it looks much better for me and more sharp
with small fonts without it).
Now I am very confused with look with new cleartype fonts at Windows Vista.
Theory is nice, but after years it looks better for me by the old way like in
Windows XP.

Dear Petr

I turned off my cleartype

Control ClearType:
1.. Right click the Vista Desktop, Personalize.
2.. Select: Windows Color and Appearance
3.. Effects... and experiment with 'Standard'
See here for a screenshot
