However, you can disable this effect. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below.

However, if you want to enable the effect back, change the value data to 0. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
