How to quickly disable Aero to run video games

How to quickly disable Aero to run video games If you sometimes need to disable the Aero interface so you'll get better performance, as when running a video game that sucks up a lot of resources, but you don't want to have to go through the whole disablement process in the Personalization applet every time, here's what to do: 1. Make a shortcut, on the desktop or elsewhere, to the game or other application that you want Aero turned off for. 2. Right click the shortcut and select Properties. 3. Click the Compatibility tab. 4. Under Settings, click "Disable desktop composition." Now you can start the game or application with the shortcut, and Aero will automatically be disabled. If you want to run the game or application without disabling Aero, open it from a different location.
