i guess its not possible to have windows animate in other ways, like transisitonal effects when closed or opened or when a webpage changes... more along the lines that a tablet or touchscreen would see/uses when in use

You might want to include a registry undo .reg file with the tutorial in case people dont like it.

This doesn't make the default behaviour to go slower,
it enables the forced slow motion while pressing the shift key. If you don't press the shift key, the windows animate normally.

You don't "make the computer to go slower", you just view the effect in slow motion.
So you dont' even need to undo it with a reg file I guess, you just don't press the shift key.
