1st method: Use resource hacker to change those animations, those animations r embedded in shell32.dll file.

But as u said that u don't want to tweak system files, then best way is to use Window Blinds. Many WB themes also include those animations. Or use transformation packs, like Vista transformation pack or Crystal clear, etc. Many of them changed the system files automatically...
