I want to disable certain effects, for example window minimize/maximize animations, window border blur, title text background blur, etc.

Where are these settings located on Windows 7 ?

They cannot be modified. You get all or nothing with Aero. – Randolph West Jan 23 '11 at 17:40
I found out how now! I'll answer my own question, take a look. – winuser Jan 23 '11 at 17:51
@Randolph Potter: @Winuser is talking about the graphical effects such as the shadow behind a mouse or the window effect when maximizing or minimizing windows, etc. Not necessarily related to Aero, at least directly. If you don't know what I mean, follow his instructions... – studiohack♦ Jan 23 '11 at 18:08
Righto. I stand corrected. – Randolph West Jan 23 '11 at 18:14

  • Press Win+R (the Run command)
  • Then type: systempropertiesadvanced
  • Then click the Settings button next to Performance.

As noted above, you can't really change the look of Aero, but for things like your cursor and your toolbar settings, you can change those. For the cursor, go into "personalize" and there should be a "change mouse cursor" option in the window. For the toolbar, right click on it and select properties.
