    Vista - How to permanently disable DWM.exe.

    Stop Service
    net stop uxsms
    Start Service
    net start uxsms
    Disable Service
    sc config uxsms start= disabled
    Enable Service
    sc config uxsms start= auto

    Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) is the compositing window manager that gives you all those pretty effects in Windows Vista: Transparent windows, live taskbar thumbnails (that you can resize now), and even the Flip3D switcher that you can disable and replace with Switcher.
