Performance+and+Maintenance

In Windows 7, type without the quotes:- “**Adjust Visual Effects** “ in the Start search and click on the
 * Performance and Maintenance **
 * Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows** link.

The **Performance Options** dialog box, where all the adjustments are made, is virtually the same in XP and Windows 7.

Here you can select the settings you want to use for the appearance and performance of Windows. You can do everything from animate windows when minimizing and maximizing to show shadows under your menus to smooth the edges of the screen fonts.

You can also choose to use a background image for each folder type you have and use visual styles on windows and buttons. The options are endless.
