How do you disable the zoom effect / window animations in the new OS X Lion? I'd like to disable the Zoom effect that the windows produce when they are being opened. Does anyone know a way to disable them?
Open Terminal.app In your /Applications/Utilies folder and run the following command:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO


and press Enter

Note: Changes might only take place after restarting your mac
