Hello,
That's the "easy" but not complete way to turn it
off.
To turn off it completely, you need to go to System Properties
/ Advanced /
Performance Options and uncheck "Enable desktop composition"
or select "Adjust for best performance".
Or ... use Control Panel / Admin options/
Services
to stop and disable the "Desktop Window Manager
Session Manager" service permanently.
Note you will lose "Glass" window border effects that
way.
This gives you pictures of relevant settings
Best regards,

and memory
See
picture, select Windows Vista basic, NOT Aero.
I believe that is all
you have to do.
