Turn off the Flying Paper Animations Intended For Windows XP Windows 2000 Windows Me Windows 98 Windows 95 When copying, moving, and deleting files, a cute little animation is displayed, showing a little piece of paper flying through the air. It sometimes takes longer to load this animation than it takes to carry out the desired operation - why is this useless window displayed when deleting a single file? At any rate, there is no way (yet) to turn off the cute flying paper animations. No solution.
