This setting allow you to disable the Windows smooth scrolling function, which on an low-powered system can cause performance degradation.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Modify the value, or create a new binary value, named "SmoothScroll" and set it to either '0' for disabled or '1' for enabled.

Log off or restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: On some versions of Windows this value may be REG_BINARY (00 00 00 00 = disabled, 01 00 00 00 = enabled) instead.

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
		SmoothScroll	REG_DWORD	0x00000000 (0)

	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
