Can I turn off or speed up the animation in SSMS?

GlacierIn SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), the animation when the subordinate windows (Object Explorer, Solution Explorer) are hidden is driving me NUTS!
Is there any way to speed it up or turn it off? It's really impacting my producitivity.
Thanks!

P.S. And never ,never introduce me to the bonehead who put all the animation into Windows and defaulted it to "on" !!!
amen.
I would also LOVE to know if turning the animation off is possible.
|||[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools
\Shell\General]
"Animations"=dword:00000000
|||[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools
\Shell\General]
"Animations"=dword:00000000
|||will this help load time?
it takes a full 2 minutes to launch for me, Pentium M 1.8 with 1gb ram
it really pisses me off that I can't use SQL Server Management Studio
Express
I mean-- come on Microsoft (it complains about not being able to install it
since it's already got the full version)

|||to speed up load time try this:
change the launch shortcut to this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell
\Common7\IDE\SqlWb.exe" /nosplash
Also go to tools, options environment, general Change dropdown to
"Open Empty Environment"
