How to disable slow motion effect in Mac OS X (shift key)?

Question

Mac OS X has a fantastic feature that enables you to play window effects in slow motion by holding down the Shift key while playing the animation (like minimize, maximize, Exposé, etc...)

As a matter of fact, I don't like it! :)

How can I disable it?

Open up Terminal.app

Type:

defaults write com.apple.finder FXEnableSlowAnimation -bool false

If you want to go back, use:

defaults write com.apple.finder FXEnableSlowAnimation -bool true

You'll need to restart the Finder after running the command.

Sorry... it did not work. Maybe it doesn't works on Snow Leopard. – Daniel Silveira Mar 20 '10 at 17:47
