Minimizing Graphics Use In Presentation Server 4.0
-Minimize the use of animated graphics within applications and the operating system wherever possible. Disable the system screen saver, and desktop backgrounds*and either remove the Microsoft Office Assistant or require users to use one of the non-animated assistants.
-You can improve the performance of Microsoft Internet Explorer by disabling smooth scrolling. Use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) or set the HKEY_CURRENT_USER software microsoft internetexplorer mainsmoothscroll key to REG_DWORD=0. If this key does not exist, you must create it.
-Minimize the use of cascading menus, especially the Start menu. Put shortcuts to commonly used applications on the desktop and keep the Programs submenu as flat as possible by avoiding multiple submenus. Also, use a single-color wallpaper to reduce the number of graphical images that must be transferred over the network
-Administrators can use registry keys to control users' desktops to minimize graphics use. You can use the following registry key to eliminate the animation effects used by the Windows NT.
HKCUControlPanelDesktopWindowMetricsMinAnimate REG_SZ "0"
-In addition, you can use a registry hive of Terminal Server to override user setting such as wallpaper, animation effects, and screen savers. Create a key called UserOverride under:
HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminalServerWi nStationsRDP-tcp
Then re-create the user keys and values that you want to override as they appear on the HKCUControl PanelDesktop key. For example, to override the Windows animation effects for all users, set this key:
HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminalServerWi nStationsRDP-tcpUserOverrideControlPanelDesktopWindowMetricsMin Animate REG_SZ "0"
