Windows 7 tips, tricks and secrets
New applets and features in Windows 7
Whether you've just bought a new PC running Windows 7 or you've
been using it for a while, there are bound to be things you didn't know you
could do.
Whether
it's tweaks to get the desktop the way you want it, tips for troubleshooting or
ways to squeeze more performance from Windows 7, we've got it covered.
We've updated our popular Windows 7 tips article with a load of
new ones, including how to recover locked-up apps, how to extend your
jumplists, leave a Windows 7 Homegroup, and more. Read on for 85 tips to help
you get the best from Windows 7.
1. Problem Steps Recorder
As the local PC guru you're probably very used to friends and
family asking for help with their computer problems, yet having no idea how to
clearly describe what's going on. It's frustrating, but Microsoft feels your
pain, and Windows 7 will include an excellent new solution in the Problem Steps
Recorder.
When any app starts misbehaving under Windows 7 then all your
friends need do is click Start, type PSR and press Enter, then click Start
Record. If they then work through whatever they're doing then the Problem Steps
Recorder will record every click and keypress, take screen grabs, and package
everything up into a single zipped MHTML file when they're finished, ready for
emailing to you. It's quick, easy and effective, and will save you hours of
troubleshooting time.
2. Burn images
Windows 7 finally introduces a feature that other operating
systems have had for years - the ability to burn ISO images to CDs or DVDs. And
it couldn't be much easier to use. Just double-click the ISO image, choose the
drive with the blank disc, click Burn and watch as your disc is created.
3. Create and mount VHD files
Microsoft's Virtual PC creates its virtual machine hard drives
in VHD files, and Windows 7 can now mount these directly so you can access them
in the host system. Click Start, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter, then click
Action > Attach VHD and choose the file you'd like to mount. It will then
appear as a virtual drive in Explorer and can be accessed, copied or written
just like any other drive.
Click Action > Create VHD and you can now create a new
virtual drive of your own (right-click it, select Initialise Disk, and after
it's set up right-click the unallocated space and select New Simple Volume to
set this up). Again, you'll be left with a virtual drive that behaves just like
any other, where you can drag and drop files, install programs, test
partitioning software or do whatever you like. But it's actually just this VHD
file on your real hard drive which you can easily back up or share with others.
Right-click the disk (that's the left-hand label that says "Disk 2"
or whatever) and select Detach VHD to remove it.
The command line DISKPART utility has also been upgraded with
tools to detach a VHD file, and an EXPAND command to increase a virtual disk's
maximum size. Don't play around with this unless you know what you're doing,
though - it's all too easy to trash your system.
4. Troubleshoot problems
If some part of Windows 7 is behaving strangely, and you don't
know why, then click Control Panel > Find and fix problems (or 'Troubleshooting')
to access the new troubleshooting packs. These are simple wizards that will
resolve common problems, check your settings, clean up your system and more.
5. Startup repair
If you've downloaded Windows 7 (and even if you haven't) it's a
good idea to create a system repair disc straight away in case you run into
problems booting the OS later on. Click Start > Maintenance > Create a
System Repair Disc, and let Windows 7 build a bootable emergency disc. If the
worst does happen then it could be the only way to get your PC running again.
6. Take control
Tired of the kids installing dubious software or running
applications you'd rather they left alone? AppLocker is a new Windows 7 feature
that ensures users can only run the programs you specify. Don't worry, that's
easier to set up than it sounds: you can create a rule to allow everything
signed by a particular publisher, so choose Microsoft, say, and that one rule
will let you run all signed Microsoft applications. Launch GPEDIT.MSC and go to
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings >
Application Control Policies > AppLocker to get a feel for how this works.
7. Calculate more
At first glance the Windows 7 calculator looks just like Vista's
version, but explore the Mode menu and you'll see powerful new Statistics and
Programmer views. And if you're clueless about bitwise manipulation, then try
the Options menu instead. This offers many different unit conversions (length,
weight, volume and more), date calculations (how many days between two dates?),
and spreadsheet-type templates to help you calculate vehicle mileage, mortgage
rates and more.
Don't take any Windows 7 applet at face value, then - there are
some very powerful new features hidden in the background. Be sure to explore every
option in all Windows applets to ensure you don't miss anything important.
CALCULATE MORE:The new Calculator is packed with useful features
and functionality
8. Switch to a projector
Windows 7 now provides a standard way to switch your display
from one monitor to another, or a projector - just press Win+P or run
DisplaySwitch.exe and choose your preferred display. (This will have no effect
if you've only one display connected.)
9. Get a power efficiency report
If you have a laptop, you can use the efficiency calculator to
get Windows 7 to generate loads of useful information about its power
consumption. Used in the right way, this can help you make huge gains in terms
of battery life and performance. To do this you must open a command prompt as
an administrator by typing 'cmd' in Start Search, and when the cmd icon
appears, right-click it and choose Run as administrator.
Then at the command line, just type in 'powercfg -energy' (without
quotes) and hit Return, and Windows 7 will scan your system looking for ways to
improve power efficiency. It will then publish the results in an HTML file,
usually in the System32 folder. Just follow the path it gives you to find your
report.
10. Understanding System Restore
Using System Restore in previous versions of Windows has been
something of a gamble. There's no way of telling which applications or drivers
it might affect - you just have to try it and see.
Windows 7 is different. Right-click Computer, select Properties
> System Protection > System Restore > Next, and choose the restore
point you'd like to use. Click the new button to 'Scan for affected programs'
and Windows will tell you which (if any) programs and drivers will be deleted
or recovered by selecting this restore point. (Read our full Windows 7 System
Restore tutorial.)
11. Set the time zone
System administrators will appreciate the new command line
tzutil.exe utility, which lets you set a PC's time zone from scripts. If you
wanted to set a PC to Greenwich Mean Time, for instance, you'd use the command
tzutil /s "gmt standard time"
The command "tzutil /g" displays the current time
zone, "tzutil /l" lists all possible time zones, and "tzutil
/?" displays details on how the command works.
12. Calibrate your screen
The colours you see on your screen will vary depending on your
monitor, graphics cards settings, lighting and more, yet most people use the
same default Windows colour profile. And that means a digital photo you think
looks perfect might appear very poor to everybody else. Fortunately Windows 7
now provides a Display Colour Calibration Wizard that helps you properly set up
your brightness, contrast and colour settings, and a ClearType tuner to ensure
text is crisp and sharp. Click Start, type DCCW and press Enter to give it a
try.
13. Clean up Live Essentials
Installing Windows Live Essentials will get you the new versions
of Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery and others - great. Unfortunately it also
includes other components that may be unnecessary, but if you like to keep a
clean system then these can be quickly removed.
If you left the default "Set your search provider"
option selected during installation, for instance, Windows Live will install
Choice Guard, a tool to set your browser home page and search engine, and
prevent other programs from changing them. If this causes problems later, or
you just decide you don't need it, then Choice Guard may be removed by clicking
Start, typing msiexec /x {F0E12BBA-AD66-4022-A453-A1C8A0C4D570} and pressing
[Enter].
Windows Live Essentials also adds an ActiveX Control to help
upload your files to Windows Live SkyDrive, as well as the Windows Live Sign-in
Assistant, which makes it easier to manage and switch between multiple Windows
Live accounts. If you're sure you'll never need either then remove them with
the Control Panel "Uninstall a Program" applet.
14. Add network support
By default Windows Live MovieMaker won't let you import files
over a network, but a quick Registry tweak will change this. Run REGEDIT, browse
to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Movie Maker, add a DWORD
value called AllowNetworkFiles and set it to 1 to add network support.
15. Activate XP mode
If you've old but important software that no longer runs under
Windows 7, then you could try using XP Mode, a virtual copy of XP that runs in
a window on your Windows 7 desktop. But there's a big potential problem, as XP
Mode only works with systems that have hardware virtualisation (AMD-V or Intel
VT) built-in and turned on. If you've a compatible CPU then this may just be a
matter of enabling the option in your BIOS set-up program, however some high
profile brands, including Sony Vaio, disable the setting for "security
reasons". And that blocks XP Mode from working, too.
One solution has emerged, but it's a little risky, as
essentially you'll have to alter a byte in your laptop firmware and hope this
doesn't have any unexpected side-effects. Gulp. If you're feeling brave then
take a look at the Feature Enable Blog for the details, but don't blame us if
it goes wrong.
A safer approach might be to use VirtualBox, a virtualisation
tool that doesn't insist on hardware support, but then you will need to find a
licensed copy of XP (or whatever other Windows version your software requires)
for its virtual machine.
16. Enable virtual Wi-Fi
Windows 7 includes a little-known new feature called Virtual
Wi-Fi, which effectively turns your PC or laptop into a software-based router.
Any other Wi-Fi-enabled devices within range - a desktop, laptop, an iPod
perhaps - will "see" you as a new network and, once logged on,
immediately be able to share your internet connection.
This will only work if your wireless adapter driver supports it,
though, and not all do. Check with your adapter manufacturer and make sure
you've installed the very latest drivers to give you the best chance.
Once you have driver support then the easiest approach is to get
a network tool that can set up virtual Wi-Fi for you. Virtual Router (below) is
free, easy to use and should have you sharing your internet connection very
quickly.
If you don't mind working with the command line, though, maybe
setting up some batch files or scripts, then it's not that difficult to set
this up manually. See Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a wireless hotspot for
more.
17. Recover locked-up apps
If an application locks up under a previous version of Windows
then there was nothing you could do about it. A new Windows 7 option, however,
can not only explain the problem, but may get your program working again
without any loss of data.
When the lockup occurs, click Start, type RESMON and click the
RESMON.EXE link to launch the Resource Monitor.
Find your frozen process in the CPU pane (it should be
highlighted in red), right-click it and select Analyze Wait Chain.
If you see at least two processes in the list, then the lowest,
at the end of the tree, is the one holding up your program. If it's not a vital
Windows component, or anything else critical, then save any work in other open
applications, check the box next to this process, click End Process, and your
locked-up program will often spring back to life.
18. Fault-Tolerant Help
Windows 7 includes a new feature called the Fault Tolerant Help
(FTH), a clever technology that looks out for unstable processes, detects those
that may be crashing due to memory issues, and applies several real-time fixes
to try and help. If these work, that's fine - if not, the fixes will be undone
and they won't be applied to that process again.
While this is very good in theory, it can leave you confused as
some applications crash, then start working (sometimes) for no apparent reason.
So if you'd like to check if the FTH is running on your PC, launch REGEDIT, and
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FTH - any program currently being
protected by the FTH will be listed in the State key.
Experienced users may also try tweaking the FTH settings to
catch more problems, and perhaps improve system stability. A post on
Microsoft's Ask The Performance Team blog (bit.ly/d1JStu) explains what the
various FTH Registry keys mean.
19. Automatically switch your default printer
Windows 7's location-aware printing allows the operating system
to automatically switch your default printer as you move from one network to
another.
To set this up, first click Start, type Devices, and click the
Devices and Printers link.
Select a printer and click Manage Default Printers (this is only
visible on a mobile device, like a laptop - you won't see it on a PC).
Choose the "Change my default printer when I change
networks" option, select a network, the default printer you'd like to use,
and click Add.
Repeat the process for other networks available, and pick a
default printer for each one.
And now, as you connect to a new network, Windows 7 will check
this list and set the default printer to the one that you've defined.
Windows 7 interface tweaks
20. Explore God Mode
Windows 7 has changed Control Panel a little, but it's still too
difficult to locate all the applets and options that you might need. God Mode,
however, while not being particularly godlike, does offer an easier way to
access everything you could want from a single folder.
To try this out, create a new folder and rename it to:
The first part, "Everything" will be the folder name,
and can be whatever you want: "Super Control Panel",
"Advanced", "God Mode" if you prefer.
The extension, ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C, must be
entered exactly as it is here, though, including the curly brackets. When you
press [Enter] this part of the name will disappear, and double-clicking the new
folder will display shortcuts to functions in the Action Centre, the Network
and Sharing Centre, Power options, troubleshooting tools, user accounts and
others - more than 260 options in total.
21. Right-click everything
At first glance Windows 7 bears a striking resemblance to Vista,
but there's an easy way to begin spotting the differences - just right-click
things.
Right-click an empty part of the desktop, for instance, and
you'll find a menu entry to set your screen resolution. No need to go browsing
through the display settings any more.
Right-click the Explorer icon on the taskbar for speedy access
to common system folders: Documents, Pictures, the Windows folder, and more.
And if you don't plan on using Internet Explorer then you
probably won't want its icon permanently displayed on the taskbar. Right-click
the icon, select 'Unpin this program from the taskbar', then go install
Firefox, instead.
22. Display the old taskbar button context menu
Right-click a taskbar button, though, and you'll now see its
jumplist menu. That's a useful new feature, but not much help if you want to
access the minimize, maximize, or move options that used to be available.
Fortunately there's an easy way to get the old context menu back - just hold
down Ctrl and Shift as you right-click the taskbar button.
23. Desktop slideshow
Windows 7 comes with some very attractive new wallpapers, and
it's not always easy to decide which one you like the best. So why not let
choose a few, and let Windows display them all in a desktop slideshow?
Right-click an empty part of the desktop, select Personalise > Desktop
Background, then hold down Ctrl as you click on the images you like. Choose how
often you'd like the images to be changed (anything from daily to once every 10
seconds), select Shuffle if you'd like the backgrounds to appear in a random
order, then click Save Changes and enjoy the show.
DESKTOP SLIDESHOW:Select multiple background images and Windows
will cycle through them
24. RSS-powered wallpaper
And if a slideshow based on your standard wallpaper isn't
enough, then you can always create a theme that extracts images from an RSS feed.
For example, Long Zheng has created a few sample themes to illustrate how it
works. Jamie Thompson takes this even further, with a theme that always
displays the latest BBC news and weather on your desktop. And MakeUseOf have a
quick and easy tutorial showing how RSS can get you those gorgeous Bing
photographs as your wallpaper. Or you can watch our custom theme video
tutorial.
25. Customise the log-on screen
Changing the Windows log-on screen used to involve some
complicated and potentially dangerous hacks, but not any more - Windows 7 makes
it easy.
First, browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background
in REGEDIT, double-click the DWORD key called OEMBackground (not there? Create
it) and set its value to 1.
Now find a background image you'd like to use. Make sure it's
less than 256KB in size, and matches the aspect ratio of your screen as it'll
be stretched to fit.
Next, copy that image into the %windir%\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds
folder (create the info\backgrounds folders if they don't exist). Rename the
image to backgroundDefault.jpg, reboot, and you should now have a custom log-on
image.
Alternatively, use a free tweaking tool to handle everything for
you. Logon Changer displays a preview so you can see how the log-on screen will
look without rebooting, while the Logon Screen Rotator accepts multiple images
and will display a different one every time you log on.
26. Recover screen space
The new Windows 7 taskbar acts as one big quick launch toolbar
that can hold whatever program shortcuts you like (just right-click one and
select Pin To Taskbar). And that's fine, except it does consume a little more
screen real estate than we'd like. Shrink it to a more manageable size by
right-clicking the Start orb, then Properties > Taskbar > Use small icons
> OK.
27. Enjoy a retro taskbar
Windows 7 now combines taskbar buttons in a way that saves
space, but also makes it more difficult to tell at a glance whether an icon represents
a running application or a shortcut. If you prefer a more traditional approach,
then right-click the taskbar, select Properties, and set Taskbar Buttons to
"Combine when taskbar is full". You'll now get a clear and separate
button for each running application, making them much easier to identify.
28. Remove taskbar buttons
One problem with the previous tip is the buttons will gobble up
valuable taskbar real estate, but you can reduce the impact of this by removing
their text captions. Launch REGEDIT, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics, add a string called MinWidth, set it to 54, and
reboot to see the results.
29. Restore the Quick Launch Toolbar
If you're unhappy with the new taskbar, even after shrinking it,
then it only takes a moment to restore the old Quick Launch Toolbar.
Right-click the taskbar, choose Toolbars > New Toolbar, type
"%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch" (less the quotes) into the Folder box and click Select Folder.
Now right-click the taskbar, clear 'Lock the taskbar', and you
should see the Quick Launch toolbar, probably to the right. Right-click its
divider, clear Show Text and Show Title to minimise the space it takes up.
Complete the job by right-clicking the bar and selecting View > Small Icons
for the true retro look.
30. Custom power switch
By default, Windows 7 displays a plain text 'Shut down' button
on the Start menu, but it only takes a moment to change this action to
something else. If you reboot your PC a few times every day then that might
make more sense as a default action: right-click the Start orb, select
Properties and set the 'Power boot action' to 'Restart' to make it happen.
31. Auto arrange your desktop
If your Windows 7 desktop has icons scattered everywhere then
you could right-click it and select View > Auto arrange, just as in Vista.
But a simpler solution is just to press and hold down F5, and Windows will
automatically arrange its icons for you.
32. Disable smart window arrangement
Windows 7 features interesting new ways to intelligently arrange
your windows, so that (for example) if you drag a window to the top of the
screen then it will maximise. We like the new system, but if you find it
distracting then it's easily disabled. Run REGEDIT, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, set WindowArrangementActive to 0,
reboot, and your windows will behave just as they always did.
33. Browse your tasks
If you prefer the keyboard over the mouse, you will love
browsing the taskbar using this nifty shortcut. Press Windows and T, and you
move the focus to the left-most icon on the taskbar. Then use your arrow keys
to change the focus to other icons, and you get a live preview of every window.
34. Display your drives
Click Computer in Windows 7 and you might see a strange lack of
drives, but don't panic, it's just Microsoft trying to be helpful: drives like
memory card readers are no longer displayed if they're empty. We think it's an
improvement, but if you disagree then it's easy to get your empty drives back.
Launch Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View and clear 'Hide
empty drives in the computer folder'.
35. See more detail
The new and improved Windows 7 magnifier offers a much easier
way to zoom in on any area of the screen. Launch it and you can now define a
scale factor and docking position, and once activated it can track your
keyboard focus around the screen. Press Tab as you move around a dialog box,
say, and it'll automatically zoom in on the currently active control.
36. Extend your jumplists
By default a jumplist will display up to 10 items, but it can
often be useful to extend this and add a few more. Right-click Start, select
Properties > Customize and set "Number of recent items to display in
Jump Lists" to the figure you need.
37. Disable Aero Peek
Hover your mouse cursor over the bottom right hand corner of the
screen and Windows 7 will hide open windows, showing you the desktop. Seems
like a good idea to us, but if the feature gets in your way then it's easy to
turn off. Simply right-click the Start orb, select Properties > Taskbar and
clear the "Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop" box.
38. Pin a drive to the taskbar
The taskbar isn't just for apps and documents. With just a few
seconds work you can pin drive icons there, too.
Right-click an empty part of the desktop, select New > Text
File, and rename the file to drive.exe. Drag and drop this onto your taskbar,
then delete the original file.
Right-click your new "drive.exe" taskbar button, then
right-click its file name and select Properties. Change the contents of both
the Target and Start In boxes to point at the drive or folder of your choice,
perhaps click Change Icon to choose an appropriate drive icon, and you're done
- that drive or folder is now available at a click.
39. Expand your taskbar previews
Move your mouse cursor over a Windows 7 taskbar button and
you'll see a small preview of the application window. To make this larger,
launch REGEDIT, browse to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband,
right-click in the right hand pane and create a new DWORD value called
MinThumbSizePx. Double-click this, choose the Decimal option, set the value to
350 and reboot to see the results. Tweak the value again to fine-tune the
results, or delete it to return to the default thumbnail size.
Useful Windows 7 enhancements
40. Hiding the Windows Live Messenger icon
If you use Windows Live Messenger a lot, you'll have noticed
that the icon now resides on the taskbar, where you can easily change status
and quickly send an IM to someone. If you prefer to keep Windows Live Messenger
in the system tray, where it's been for previous releases, just close Windows
Live Messenger, edit the shortcut properties and set the application to run in
Windows Vista compatibility mode.
41. Customise UAC
Windows Vista's User Account Control was a good idea in
practice, but poor implementation put many people off - it raised far too many
alerts. Fortunately Windows 7 displays less warnings by default, and lets you
further fine-tune UAC to suit your preferred balance between security and a
pop-up free life (Start > Control Panel > Change User Account Control
Settings).
42. Use Sticky Notes
The Sticky Notes app is both simpler and more useful in Windows
7. Launch StikyNot.exe and you can type notes at the keyboard; right-click a
note to change its colour; click the + sign on the note title bar to add
another note; and click a note and press Alt + 4 to close the note windows
(your notes are automatically saved).
43. Open folder in new process
By default Windows 7 opens folders in the same process. This
saves system resources, but means one folder crash can bring down the entire
shell. If your system seems unstable, or you're doing something in Explorer
that regularly seems to causes crashes, then open Computer, hold down Shift,
right-click on your drive and select Open in New Process. The folder will now
be launched in a separate process, and so a crash is less likely to affect
anything else.
44. Watch more videos
Windows Media Player 12 is a powerful program, but it still
won't play all the audio and video files you'll find online. Fortunately the
first freeware Windows 7 codecs package [shark007.net/win7codecs.html] has been
released, and installing it could get your troublesome multimedia files playing
again.
45. Preview fonts
Open the Fonts window in Windows XP and Vista and you'll see the
font names, probably with icons to tell you whether they're TrueType or
OpenType, but that's about it. Windows 7 sees some useful font-related
improvements.
Open the new fonts window and you'll find a little preview for
every font, giving you a quick idea of how they're going to look.
The tedium of scrolling through multiple entries for each
family, like Times New Roman, Times New Roman Bold, Times New Roman Bold Italic
and so on, has finally ended. There's now just a single entry for each font
(though you can still see all other members of the family).
And there's a new OpenType font, Gabriola, added to the mix.
It's an attractive script font, well worth a try the next time you need a
stylish document that stands out from the crowd.
46. Restore your gadgets
Windows 7 has tightened up its security by refusing to run
gadgets if UAC has been turned off, so limiting the damage malicious unsigned
gadgets can do to your system. If you've disabled UAC, miss your gadgets and
are happy to accept the security risk, though, there's an easy Registry way to
get everything back to normal. Run REGEDIT, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Sidebar\Settings,
create a new DWORD value called AllowElevatedProcess and set it to 1. Your
gadgets should start working again right away.
47. New WordPad formats
By default WordPad will save documents in Rich Text Format, just
as before. But browse the Save As Format list and you'll see you can also save
(or open, actually) files in the Office 2007 .docx or OpenDocument .odt
formats.
48. Protect your data
USB flash drives are convenient, portable, and very easy to
lose. Which is a problem, especially if they're carrying sensitive data.
Fortunately Windows 7 has the solution: encrypt your documents with an
extension of Microsoft's BitLocker technology, and only someone with the
password will be able to access it. Right-click your USB flash drive, select
Turn on BitLocker and follow the instructions to protect your private files.
PROTECT YOUR DATA:Your USB flash drives can easily be encrypted
with BitLocker
49. Minimise quickly with shake
If you have multiple windows open on your desktop and things are
getting too cluttered, it used to be a time-consuming process to close them all
down. In Windows 7 you can use the Aero Shake feature to minimise everything in
seconds, using a cool mouse gesture. Grab the title bar of the window you wish
to keep open and give it a shake, and rejoice in a clear desktop area.
50. Configure your favourite music
The Windows 7 Media Centre now comes with an option to play your
favourite music, which by default creates a changing list of songs based on
your ratings, how often you play them, and when they were added (it's assumed
you'll prefer songs you've added in the last 30 days). If this doesn't work then
you can tweak how Media Centre decides what a "favourite" tune is-
click Tasks > Settings > Music > Favourite Music and configure the
program to suit your needs.
51. Customise System Restore
There was very little you could do to configure System Restore
in Vista, but Windows 7 improves the situation with a couple of useful setup
options.
Click the Start orb, right-click Computer and select Properties
> System Protection > Configure, and set the Max Usage value to a size
that suits your needs (larger to hold more restore points, smaller to save disk
space).
And if you don't need System Restore to save Windows settings
then choose the "Only restore previous versions of files" option.
Windows 7 won't back up your Registry, which means you'll squeeze more restore
points and file backups into the available disk space. System Restore is much
less likely to get an unbootable PC working again, though, so use this trick at
your own risk.
52. Run As
Hold down Shift, right-click any program shortcut, and you'll
see an option to run the program as a different user, handy if you're logged in
to the kids' limited account and need to run something with higher privileges.
This isn't really a new feature - Windows XP had a Run As option that did the
same thing - but Microsoft stripped it out of Vista, so it's good to see it's
had a change of heart.
53. Search privacy
By default Windows 7 will remember your PC search queries, and
display the most recent examples when searching in Windows Explorer. If you're
sharing a PC and don't want everyone to see your searches, then launch
GPEDIT.MSC, go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows
Components > Windows Explorer, double-click "Turn off display of recent
search entries..." and click Enabled > OK.
54. Tweak PC volume
By default Windows 7 will now automatically reduce the volume of
your PC's sounds whenever it detects you're making or receiving PC-based phone
calls. If this proves annoying (or maybe you'd like it to turn off other sounds
altogether) then you can easily change the settings accordingly. Just
right-click the speaker icon in your taskbar, select Sounds >
Communications, and tell Windows what you'd like it to do.
55. Rearrange the system tray
With Windows 7 we finally see system tray icons behave in a
similar way to everything else on the taskbar. So if you want to rearrange
them, then go right ahead, just drag and drop them into the order you like. You
can even move important icons outside of the tray, drop them onto the desktop,
then put them back when you no longer need to keep an eye on them.
56. Extend your battery life
Windows 7 includes new power options that will help to improve
your notebook's battery life. To see them, click Start, type Power Options and
click the Power Options link, then click Change Plan Settings for your current
plan and select Change Advanced Settings. Expand Multimedia Settings, for
instance, and you'll see a new "playing video" setting that can be
set to optimise power savings rather than performance. Browse through the other
settings and ensure they're set up to suit your needs.
57. Write crash dump files
Windows 7 won't create memory.dmp crash files if you've less
than 25GB of free hard drive space, annoying if you've installed the Windows
debugging tools and want to diagnose your crashes. You can turn this feature
off, though: browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl,
create a new DWORD value called AlwaysKeepMemoryDump, set it to 1, and the
crash dump file will now always be saved.
58. Protect your data
If you have confidential files in a particular folder or two,
and would like to keep them away from other network users, then right-click the
folder, select Share With > Nobody, and they'll be made private, for your
eyes only (or your user account, anyway).
59. Reorganise the taskbar
Windows 7 taskbar buttons are now movable - feel free to drag,
drop and otherwise reorganise them to suit your needs. And then remember that
each button can be launched by holding with the Windows key and pressing 1 to
activate the first, 2 the second and so on, up to 0 for the tenth.
60. Repair your PC
If Windows 7 won't start, you may not need an installation or
repair disc any more, as the repair environment is now usually installed on
your hard drive. Press [F8] as your PC starts, and if you see a "Repair
Your Computer" option, choose that to see the full range of Windows 7
recovery tools.
61. ReadyBoost revamped
If you were unimpressed by ReadyBoost in Vista, it may be worth
trying the technology again under Windows 7. The operating system now allows
you to combine multiple USB drives, each with larger caches, to deliver an
extra speed boost.
62. Fixing Windows 7 N
If you have Windows 7 N then this means you'll be missing key
multimedia applications, like Media Player, Media Centre, DVD Maker and more.
But that's not all. You also won't have some of the subsystems required by
third-party apps like Nero MultiMedia Suite, which means that even if they
install, you could have problems getting them to work correctly.
Fortunately there's an easy fix, though, as the missing components
are available in the form of Microsoft's Windows Media Pack. If you're
currently having media-related issues on a Windows 7 N installation, grab your
copy from support.microsoft.com/kb/968211.
Windows 7 performance and productivity tips
63. Find bottlenecks
From what we've seen so far Windows 7 is already performing
better than Vista, but if your PC seems sluggish then it's now much easier to
uncover the bottleneck. Click Start, type RESMON and press Enter to launch the
Resource Monitor, then click the CPU, Memory, Disk or Network tabs. Windows 7
will immediately show which processes are hogging the most system resources.
The CPU view is particularly useful, and provides something like
a more powerful version of Task Manager. If a program has locked up, for
example, then right-click its name in the list and select Analyze Process.
Windows will then try to tell you why it's hanging - the program might be
waiting for another process, perhaps - which could give you the information you
need to fix the problem.
FIND BOTTLENECKS:Resource monitor keeps a careful eye on exactly
how your PC is being used
64. Keyboard shortcuts
Windows 7 supports several useful new keyboard shortcuts.
Alt+P
Display/ hide the Explorer preview pane
Windows Logo+G
Display gadgets in front of other windows
Windows Logo++ (plus key)
Zoom in, where appropriate
Windows Logo+- (minus key)
Zoom out, where appropriate
Windows Logo+Up
Maximise the current window
Windows Logo+Down
Minimise the current window
Windows Logo+Left
Snap to the left hand side of the screen
Windows Logo+Right
Snap to the right hand side of the screen
Windows Logo+Home
Minimise/ restore everything except the current window
65. Drag and drop to the command line
When working at the command line you'll often need to access
files, which usually means typing lengthy paths and hoping you've got them
right. But Windows 7 offers an easier way. Simply drag and drop the file onto
your command window and the full path will appear, complete with quotes and
ready to be used.
This feature isn't entirely new: you could do this in Windows
XP, too, but drag and drop support disappeared in Vista. There does seem to be
a new Windows 7 complication, though, in that it only seems to work when you
open the command prompt as a regular user. Run cmd.exe as an administrator and,
while it accepts dropped files, the path doesn't appear.
66. Customise your jumplists
Right-click an icon on your taskbar, perhaps Notepad, and you'll
see a jumplist menu that provides easy access to the documents you've been
working on recently. But maybe there's another document that you'd like to be
always available? Then drag and drop it onto the taskbar icon, and it'll be
pinned to the top of the jumplist for easier access. Click the pin to the right
of the file name, or right-click it and select "Unpin from this list"
when you need to remove it.
67. Faster program launches
If you've launched one instance of a program but want to start
another, then don't work your way back through the Start menu. It's much
quicker to just hold down Shift and click on the program's icon (or
middle-click it), and Windows 7 will start a new instance for you.
68. Speedy video access
Want faster access to your Videos folder? Windows 7 now lets you
add it to the Start menu. Just right-click the Start orb, click Properties >
Start Menu > Customize, and set the Videos option to "Display as a
link". If you've a TV tuner that works with Windows 7 then you'll appreciate
the new option to display the Recorded TV folder on the Start menu, too.
69. Run web searches
The Windows 7 search tool can now be easily extended to search
online resources, just as long as someone creates an appropriate search
connector. To add Flickr support, say, visit I Started Something, click
Download the Connector, choose the Open option and watch as it's downloaded
(the file is tiny, it'll only take a moment). A "Flickr Search"
option will be added to your Searches folder, and you'll be able to search
images from your desktop.
A multitude of other ready-made searches, such as Google and
YouTube, can be downloaded from the windowsclub.com website.
70. Schedule Media Centre downloads
You can now tell Windows Media Centre to download data at a
specific time, perhaps overnight, a useful way to prevent it sapping your
bandwidth for the rest of the day. Launch Media Centre, go to Tasks >
Settings > General > Automatic Download Options, and set the download
start and stop times that you'd like it to use.
71. Multi-threaded Robocopies
Anyone who's ever used the excellent command-line robocopy tool
will appreciate the new switches introduced with Windows 7. Our favourite, /MT,
can improve speed by carrying out multi-threaded copies with the number of
threads you specify (you can have up to 128, though that might be going a
little too far). Enter robocopy /? at a command line for the full details.
72. Load IE faster
Some Internet Explorer add-ons can take a while to start,
dragging down the browser's performance, but at least IE8 can now point a
finger at the worst resource hogs. Click Tools > Manage Add-ons, check the
Load Time in the right-hand column, and you'll immediately see which browser
extensions are slowing you down.
73. An Alt+Tab alternative
You want to access one of the five Explorer windows you have
open, but there are so many other programs running that Alt+Tab makes it hard
to pick out what you need. The solution? Hold down the Ctrl key while you click
on the Explorer icon. Windows 7 will then cycle through the Explorer windows
only, a much quicker way to locate the right one. And of course this works with
any application that has multiple windows open.
74. Block annoying alerts
Just like Vista, Windows 7 will display a suitably stern warning
if it thinks your antivirus, firewall or other security settings are incorrect.
But unlike Vista, if you disagree then you can now turn off
alerts on individual topics. If you no longer want to see warnings just because
you've dared to turn off the Windows firewall, say, then click Control Panel
> System and Security > Action Centre > Change Action Centre settings,
clear the Network Firewall box and click OK.
75. Parallel defrags
The standard Windows 7 defragger offers a little more control
than we saw in Vista, and the command line version also has some interesting
new features. The /r switch will defrag multiple drives in parallel, for
instance (they'll obviously need to be physically separate drives for this to
be useful). The /h switch runs the defrag at a higher than normal priority, and
the /u switch provides regular progress reports so you can see exactly what's
going on. Enter the command
defrag /c /h /u /r
in a command window to speedily defrag a system with multiple
drives, or enter defrag /? to view the new options for yourself.
76. Fix Explorer
The Windows 7 Explorer has a couple of potential annoyances.
Launching Computer will no longer display system folders like Control Panel or
Recycle Bin, for instance. And if you're drilling down through a complicated
folder structure in the right-hand pane of Explorer, the left-hand tree won't
always expand to follow what you're doing, which can make it more difficult to
see exactly where you are. Fortunately there's a quick fix: click Organize >
Folder and Search Options, check "Show all folders" and
"Automatically expand to current folder", and click OK.
77. Faster file handing
If you hold down Shift while right-clicking a file in Explorer,
then you'll find the Send To file now includes all your main user folders:
Contacts, Documents, Downloads, Music and more. Choose any of these and your
file will be moved there immediately.
78. Create folder favourites
If you're regularly working on the same folder in Explorer then
select it in the right-hand page, right-click Favourites on the left-hand menu,
and select Add to Favourites. It'll then appear at the bottom of the favourites
list for easy one-click access later.
79. Disable hibernation
By default Windows 7 will permanently consume a chunk of your
hard drive with its hibernation file, but if you never use sleep, and always
turn your PC off, then this will never actually be used. To disable hibernation
and recover a little hard drive space, launch REGEDIT, browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power, then set both
HibernateEnabled and HiberFileSizePerfect to zero.
80. Create a new folder shortcut
When you need to create a new folder in Windows 7 Explorer,
don't reach for the mouse. Just press Ctrl+Shift+N to create the folder in the
active Explorer window, then type its name as usual.
81. Open a jumplist
Most people right-click a Windows taskbar icon to view its
jumplist. You can also hold the left mouse button over the icon, though, then
drag upwards to reveal the jumplist and choose the option you need, a more
natural action that should be just a little faster.
82. Search quickly
If you'd like to search for something in an Explorer window then
there's no need to use the mouse. Simply press [F3] to move the focus to the
search box, enter your keyword and press [Enter] to run the search.
83. Search file contents
There's no obvious way in the Windows interface to search the
contents of files that haven't been indexed, but all you need to do is start
your search with the "content:" search filter. So entering
content:Microsoft , for instance, will find all documents (whether they're
actually indexed or not) that contain the word Microsoft.
84. Close in a click
Hover your mouse cursor over a Windows taskbar button will
display a preview thumbnail of that application window. You don't need that app
any more? Then middle-click the thumbnail to close it down.
85. Leave the Homegroup
Homegroups are an easy way to network Windows 7 PCs, but if you
don't use the feature then turning it off can save you a few system resources.
Click Start, type Homegroup, and click "Choose homegroup
and sharing options". Click Leave the Homegroup > Leave the Homegroup
> Finish.
Now click Start, type services.msc and press [Enter] to launch
the Services Control Panel applet.
Find and double-click both the HomeGroup Listener and HomeGroup
Provider service, clicking Stop and setting Startup Type to Disabled in each
case, and the services won't be launched when you need reboot.
