Is there a way to disable the slow animation effect when holding down the shift key?

Holding down shift at the same time with a shortcut (for example like Control + arrow for Mission Controll) makes the animation run with a slow motion effect. I would like to disable this setting as this collides with other keyboard shortcuts for some apps I've been using. I can't find this option in the keyboard section of the Preferences pane, and using the command 'defaults write com.apple.finder FXEnableSlowAnimation -bool NO' in the terminal doesn't work either. Is there a way to do this?
