Display properties

While pretty photos and animated graphics are fun, they also contribute to bogging
down your lean mean audio machine. And in keeping with Microsoft's tradition of
making looks a high priority, those fancy visuals are programmed to take processing
priority away from what we consider important, processing audio. Disabling those
effects is a good idea unless you don't mind a pretty drop-down menu causing a
frustrating dropout or audio glitch.
If you feel you must have a picture on your desktop, bear in mind that doing so requires
Active Desktop to be activated; those cute animated GIFs suck up even more resources.
To zap those fancy visuals, right-click on your desktop and select 'Properties'. First select
the 'Desktop' tab; select "(None)" in the Background field to remove the background.
