Make your computer run a little faster.
You can shut off the animation displayed when you minimize and maximize Windows.
1. Open RegEdit.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl panel DesktopWindowMetrics
3. Create a new string value "MinAnimate".
4. Set the value data to 0 for Off – or 1 for On.
This will put less of a stress on your graphics card – especially if you have an older computer.

Word/Excel Hyperlinks Turn Window Animation Back On !?#@~
On any 32-bit Windows version, simply using a M$Word hyperlink to_jump to another document inadvertently brings back window animation, no matter whether animation had been turned off in :::
(1.) the registry at MinAnimate (on Windows Xp for example),
(2.) “Performance Options » Visual Effects » Custom » [] Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing” (as found in Windows 7),
(3.) gpEdit.msc using “Do not allow window animations”, at computer and/or user level (Vista and above).
This state of affairs over time has been quite a frustration to me, especially since Word 2003.v11. If I recall correctly, this inconsistent misbehaviour already existed e.g. in Word 97v8 (and probably earlier too then). It_still hung around in_2007v12. Meanwhile I also checked Word 2010.v14 and even 2013.v15, to no avail.
Windows Xp, 2003, Vista, 7, up to 8.x, none of their 32-bit versions have been able to stop Microsoft’s own Word from turning window animation back_on as a side effect of jumping through some hyperlink.
Redmond and the whole Gates history deserve Deep Shame for this, even if nowadays 32-bit Windows is almost a thing of the past.
Even today I would still welcome an ultimate solution to this annoyance.
