I want to be able to make the default setting for my users
to NOT have transition effects/window animation. I've
looked all over, isn't there a registry key for this?

Control the Windows Animation Function (Windows 9x and NT)

Open your registry and change the value of 'MinAnimate' found in the key
below,
set the value to '0' for disabled or '1' for enabled.
If the value doesn't already exist simply
create a new string value and name it 'MinAnimate'.

Registry Settings:
Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
Value Name: MinAnimate
Data Type: REG_SZ
Data: (0=disable, 1=enable)
 
I usually locate keys like this one in the following manner.
- Navigate to the spot where a specific setting is made.
- Launch regedit.exe
- Save HKLM or HKCU
- Make the desired change
- Save HKLM or HKCU to a different file
- Compare the files with fc.exe

In most cases this lets you identify the registry key you're after.
