Hello, guys now I have came with such new tricks
for your windows 7 (the best top tricks that you can use to enhance your pc
having window 7)
We'll start with a few nifty tips that can make
your desktop more interesting, make it easier to get around and increase your
computer's power efficiency.
When you first install Windows 7, it asks for
your language, time and currency. Based on your responses, it installs a set of
wallpapers and themes. If you choose English (United States) for your time and
currency format, for example, the available desktop backgrounds and themes will
include a United States section with scenery from locations such as Maine, the
Southwest and so on.
Hidden, though, are background scenery and
themes from other English-speaking countries -- Australia, Canada, Great
Britain and South Africa. Normally, you can't access those backgrounds or
themes, but there is a simple way you can install and use them:
1. In the search box in the Start menu, type C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT and press Enter. (Note: If Windows 7 is
installed in a drive other than C:, use that letter instead.)
2. Windows Explorer will launch and show you a
list of subfolders underC:\Windows\Globalization\MCT: MCT-AU, MCT-CA, MCT-GB, MCT-US, and MCT-ZA. Each subfolder has
wallpapers for a specific country: AU for Australia, CA for Canada, GB for
Great Britain, US for the United States, and ZA for South Africa.
For any of the countries whose wallpaper and
themes you want to use, go into its Theme folder, for example,C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT\MCT-ZA\Theme. Double-click the theme you see there (for
example ZA).
3. That will install a shortcut to the theme and
wallpapers in the Personalization section of Control Panel.
You can now use them as you would any other
theme or background, by right-clicking the desktop, choosing Personalize, and
choosing a background or theme. They will be listed in their own section.
If you frequently run multiple programs
simultaneously, your desktop can get extremely cluttered. This can get annoying
if you're working on one program and want to minimize all the other windows --
in previous versions of Windows you had to minimize them individually.
With Windows 7's "shake" feature,
though, you can minimize every window except the one in which you're currently
working -- in a single step. Click and hold the title bar of the window you
want to keep on the desktop; while still holding the title bar, shake it quickly
back and forth until all of the other windows minimize to the taskbar. Then let
go. To make them return, shake the title bar again.
You can accomplish the same thing by pressing
the Window key-Home key combination -- although doing that is not nearly as
much fun.
Have a laptop and want to get more battery life
out of it? Windows 7 includes a hidden built-in tool that will examine your
laptop's energy use and make recommendations on how to improve it. To use it:
1. Run a command prompt as an administrator. To
do this, type cmd in the search box,
and when the cmd icon appears, right-click it and choose "Run as
administrator."
2. At the command line, type in the following:
powercfg -energy
-output \<i>Folder</i>\Energy_Report.html
where \Folder represents the folder
where you want the report to be placed.
3. For about a minute, Windows 7 will examine
the behavior of your laptop. It will then analyze it and create a report in
HTML format in the folder you specified. Double-click the file, and you'll get
a report -- follow its recommendations for ways to improve power performance.
The User Account Control security feature was
one of the most reviled additions to Windows Vista, with good reason -- its
constant warning messages asking for permission to continue many operations
drove users around the bend.
UAC has been significantly improved in Windows 7
so that it's not as intrusive as in Vista, but you can still tweak it if you
like.
Here's how to turn UAC on or off, and make it
less or more intrusive than the default:
1. Go to the Control Panel --> User Accounts
and Family Safety.
2. Click User Accounts, then click Change User
Account Control settings.
3. From the screen that appears, use the slider
to select the level of protection you want. Here are the four levels and what
they mean:
Always notify me. Think of this as UAC Classic. It works
like Vista's UAC: When you make changes to your system, when software is
installed or when a program tries to make a change to your system, an annoying
prompt appears.
Default -- Notify me only when programs try to
make changes to my computer. This is, obviously, the default; make a change yourself and
UAC leaves you alone. When a program makes a change, a prompt appears and your
desktop goes dark, just like it does in Vista. Otherwise, UAC sits there
silently.
Notify me only when programs try to make changes
to my computer (do not dim my desktop). This setting is identical to the default setting, with one
difference: It won't dim your desktop so that you only see the UAC prompt
asking you to take action. This presents a slightly elevated security risk over
the default setting, because theoretically a program could allow a malicious
program to interfere with the UAC prompt.
Never notify me when: In this one, UAC is completely turned off.
This is, of course, an insecure option and not recommended for most users.
After you make the selection, click OK.
Depending on the selection you made, you may need to restart your system for it
to take effect.
Many people overlook the Start Menu, rarely
using it except as a jumping off point to run an application or get to the
Control Panel. But there's actually plenty you can do with it.
Search
the Internet from the Start Menu
Note:
This tip relies on the Group Policy Editor, which isn't available in some
versions of Windows 7. Thus, this tip will not work if you have the Home
Premium, Starter, or Home Basic editions of Windows 7.
The
Start Menu's search box is a convenient way to search through your PC -- but
you can also have it do double-duty and perform Internet searches as well. To
enable this feature:
1.
In the Start Menu search box, type GPEDIT.MSC and
press Enter to run the Group Policy Editor.
2.
Go to User Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Start Menu and
Taskbar.
3.
Double-click "Add Search Internet link to Start Menu," and from the
screen that appears, select Enabled. Then click OK and close the Group Policy
Editor.
4.
From now on, when you type a search term in the Search box on the Start Menu, a
"Search the Internet" link will appear. Click the link to launch the
search in your default browser with your default search engine.
Customize the Shut down button
The default action of the Start Menu's Shut down
button is to turn off your PC. If you want to use the button for another
action, such as restarting your PC, you click the arrow to the right of the
Shut down button and select an action from the drop-down menu.
What if you rarely shut your PC down completely
but frequently restart it? You can change the Shut down button's default action
to be Restart -- or Switch user, Log off, Lock, Sleep or Hibernate.
To change your default, right-click the Start
button and select Properties. On the Start Menu tab, click the "Power
button action" drop-down menu and select which action you want to be the
default. Then click OK, and OK again.
The Windows 7 Start Menu includes links to your
Pictures and Music folders, but not to your Videos folder. If you watch a lot
of videos and want a link to them on your Start Menu, here's what you can do:
1. Right-click the Start button and select
Properties.
2. On the screen that appears, go to the Start
Menu tab and click Customize.
3. In the dialog box that appears, scroll to the
bottom, look for the Videos section, select "Display as a link," and
click OK and then OK again.
If you'd prefer that Videos display as a menu,
with links to files and submenus, instead select "Display as a menu."
Windows Explorer is the heart and soul of the
Windows interface, and overall it works quite well. But you can make it better.
In order to select multiple files for an
operation such as copying, moving or deleting in Windows Explorer, you
generally use the keyboard and the mouse, Ctrl-clicking every file you want to
select.
But if you're mouse-centric, there's a way to
select multiple files in Windows 7 using only your mouse, via check boxes. To
do it:
1. In Windows Explorer, click Organize, and then
select "Folder and search options."
2. Click the View tab.
3. In Advanced Settings, scroll down and check
the box next to "Use check boxes to select items." Click OK.
4. From now on, when you hover your mouse over a
file in Windows Explorer, a check box will appear next to it; click it to
select the file. Once a file is selected, the checked box remains next to it;
if you uncheck it, the box will disappear when you move your mouse away.
Command prompt fans will welcome this tip. With
it, when you're in Windows Explorer, you can open a command prompt to any
folder. This tip does exactly what the Windows XP PowerToy "Open Command Window Here" does.
To use it, hold down the Shift key and
right-click a folder, then choose "Open command window here" from the
context menu that appears. (Note that this tip doesn't work in the Documents
folder.)
Note: This tip relies on the Group Policy
Editor, which isn't available in some versions of Windows 7. Thus, this tip
will not work if you have the Home Premium, Starter, or Home Basic editions of
Windows 7.
When you search through your PC from Windows
Explorer, you can see the most recent searches that have been performed. If you
share a PC and don't want others to see what you've searched for, you can turn
off the recent searches feature:
1. In the Start menu's Search box, type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter to launch the Group Policy
Editor.
2. Go to User Configuration --> Administrative
Templates -->Windows Components --> Windows Explorer.
3. Double-click "Turn off display of recent
search entries in the Windows Explorer search box" and select Enabled from
the screen that appears. Then click OK. The recent searches feature will now be
turned off.
When you run Windows Explorer, it always opens
to the Libraries folder. That's fine if you use Microsoft's default file
organization, which designates Libraries as the overall container for your
folders.
But what if you don't? You might prefer to have
Windows Explorer open to Computer or any other folder you choose. Here's how to
do it:
1. Right-click the Windows Explorer icon on the
taskbar (it's the one that looks like a folder), and then right-click the
Windows Explorer icon from the context menu that appears and select Properties.
The Windows Explorer Properties dialog box appears.
2. You'll have to edit the Target field on the
Shortcut tab of this dialog box in order to change the default location at
which Explorer opens.
If you want Explorer to open to a specific
folder, simply enter the name of the folder, substituting your folder name for Folder,
below, like this:
%windir%\explorer.exe
c:\<i>Folder</i>
So to open Explorer to the folder named Budget,
you would type this in the Target field:
%windir%\explorer.exe
c:\Budget
If you want Explorer to open to special, pre-set
locations, such as Computer, you'll need to enter special syntax in the Target
field. Following is a list of three common locations and the syntax to use,
followed by the syntax for the Libraries folder in case you ever want to revert
to the default.
·
Computer: %windir%\explorer.exe
::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
·
My
Documents:%windir%\explorer.exe
::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}
·
Network: %windir%\explorer.exe
::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
·
Libraries: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
3. After you've changed the Target field, click
OK. Next time you launch Windows Explorer, it will open to the new location
you've designated.
