19 Large Windows7 System improvement function

the 1.Windows 7 task bar allows you to do more .

Since most users always set the Windows taskbar to be visible at all times, the more efficient you can use the "territory", the better. The Windows 7 taskbar has been greatly improved in two ways. First, you can fix the application on the taskbar for quick start, similar to the Rocketdock or Mac OS X Dock. Second, on a crowded desktop that is covered by multiple windows, you can use the new Aero Peek feature to preview each window from a grouped taskbar program, and you can even close the file with thumbnails. In theory, this doesn't sound like a big improvement, but in practice, when you open two monitors and have more than 10 open windows, the Aero browsing (Aero Peek) feature is very handy.

At the far right of the taskbar, there is also a permanent "show desktop" button, click it to clear all the windows on the desktop, and click again to return all the windows back to their original position.

As you can see, Windows 7 has improved Vista in many small ways, as many of these small improvements eventually improve the overall performance of Windows 7.

　2, you can instantly complete the window screenshot grab action, and can be a key to clear the desktop

Because widescreen displays are becoming more common, it is easier to have parallel window management become more critical---and Windows is equipped with such features. Although not as strong as a third-party program Gridmove, Windows 7 offers a very handy feature---you just drag the target window to the left or right side of the screen, and you get a screenshot of the window equivalent to half the size of the screen. The following illustration shows a process that lets you release your mouse button and you get a screenshot of the Lifehacker browser window with a half screen size.

Similarly, the new aero Jitter (Aero Shake) feature allows you to remove all desktop background windows by seizing the top bar of the active window and moving back and forth quickly.

　　3. Library (libraries) features enable users to group similar content, while HomeGroup (homegroups) makes it easier for users to share libraries

The Windows network is a nuisance, and Windows 7 improves it through both the library (libraries) and the family group (homegroups) two new features. A library is a way to group similar files, even if they are placed in different folders. For example, your video library can include your TV folders, movie folders, DVD folders, and the Home movies folder. You can then create a homegroup (basically an improvement to the existing Windows workgroup), which makes it easier for your libraries to share among the various homegroup users. Since I have not personally measured how simple it is to share files between two computers through HomeGroup, the layout of the entire file share and the user interface look more intuitive.

　4. You will have greater control over UAC (user Account Control)

One of the biggest complaints users have about Windows Vista is that its user Account Control (UAC) constantly pops up a dialog box asking if you're "absolutely trusting" you just asked the computer to do something. Despite the security banner, Vista UAC will even check the action of running Notepad.

Although most Vista users prefer to turn off UAC's well-intentioned security hints to keep these tips from confusing, to keep a clear mind), and in Windows 7 you can make a detailed definition of the warnings that need to be popped, and confirm the message, which can greatly reduce the frequency of pop-up prompts.

　5, you can decide what you want to display in the system tray.

Windows 7 allows you to set up the icons and notifications you want to see in the system tray with a detailed dialog box without cumbersome and responsible registry edits. You just right-click on the system tray and choose "Customize ..." from the pop-up menu. It's OK.

　6, you only need to click on the system tray can be switched between the Wi-Fi network

You can profoundly appreciate the true meaning of the phrase "a small change can bring great difference": In Windows 7, you only need to click on the Wi-Fi adapter, will pop up the current list of available wireless networks, you can refresh the list and choose one you want to connect to, click. This is very handy for roaming laptop users.

　　7, Windows 7 Power management features better, greatly extend the use of laptop battery time

Although I am a Windows 7 preview that runs on a desktop computer, laptop users will be happy to know that Windows 7 promises to run more efficiently, extending battery time.

Vista power management is certainly better than XP, while Windows 7 is better than Vista. This is partly because background management is more intelligent overall, such as shutting it down more frequently when the processor is idle, running a standard-definition DVD with less power, automatically shutting down an Ethernet adapter, and so on. However, Windows does not carry you through all this energy saving measures, it will provide you with a detailed battery efficiency report---which hardware, process power consumption.

　8, calculator, writing Board, drawing tool has carried out "overhaul"

Windows 7 stripped Vista's built-in picture library (Photo Gallery) and movie-making software (even the calculator doesn't appear in the Windows 7 Preview), which is too bad. However, several of the built-in features of Windows 7 still warrant attention. Both WordPad (WordPad) and drawing tools (Paint) draw on the appearance of the Ribbon (Ribbon) of Office 2007, while the calculator (Calculator) adds some more practical features. Although few people currently use drawing tools and WordPad, extending the Ribbon interface to these trivial programs may herald more upgrades and improvements for Windows 7.

　　9, the tool bar (Sidebar) disappeared

If you ask me what I would most like to "kill" in Windows Vista, I would first choose the tool bar (Sidebar). In Vista, it is loaded by default, and Vista gadgets are "firmly welded" on the right side of the desktop and cannot be moved at will. In Windows 7, sidebar is canceled and you can place these gadgets at your own discretion.

　　10. Speed up Disk defragmentation

The Disk Defragmenter tool in Windows 7 offers more controllable options than Windows Vista, and its command-line version provides some interesting new features. Here is the parameter description:

/r parallel processing of multiple drives

/h lets the Disk Defragmenter tool use more system resources to speed up the operation

/U provide regular progress reports, you can see the detailed process of defragmenting

Command usage Examples:

DEFRAG/C/h/u/R

Function: Quickly defragment multiple drives in a command-line window.

More parameters and usage available defrag/? To obtain.

　　11, let IE load faster

Some IE plug-ins use more time to start, no doubt this will slow down the performance of the entire browser. In IE8 in Windows 7, users can know which browser plug-ins (extensions) are running the slowest.

Usage: Click Tools (Tool) Manage add-ons (admin add-ins), the right side of the load when the list shows the operation of the plug-in.

　　12, repair the task bar

Windows 7 has enhanced security, so the gadgets for the desktop sidebar will not be enabled when UAC is turned off. If you disable UAC and intend to use gadgets normally, follow the instructions below.

Run the Registration editor and locate the following location:

Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionsidebarsettings

Create a new DWORD value with the key named Allowelevatedprocess and the value set to 1 so that the gadgets starts again.

　　13. ALT + TAB Enhanced usage

Assuming you've opened five resource managers and run many other programs, it's really time-consuming to switch windows with traditional ALT + + to find what you need in so many programs.

What do we do? Holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the Explorer icon, Windows 7 will only switch between the several explorer windows, which makes the window positioned faster. This tip applies to any application that supports simultaneous opening of multiple instances.

　　14. Disable Smart window arrangement

Another new feature of Windows 7 is the Intelligent Arrangement window, which automatically maximizes when you drag a window to the top of the screen. This feature is love and hate, we like Windows 7, but do not want to use some of its functions, how to do? or turn to the registry, run Regedit, jump to:

Hkey_current_usercontrol Paneldesktop

Set the Windowarrangementactive key value to 0, restart

　　15, better use of the System Restore

In Windows Vista, there are few settings options for System Restore. This is finally improved in Windows 7, and there are a few practical options to choose from.

Click the Start button, right click on My Computer, select Properties, System protection, settings, here, you can according to their own needs, set the maximum System Restore use size, the larger the size of the restore point, the smaller the more disk space can be released. In addition, you can set the default protection scope for System Restore.

　　16. Magnifying Glass

The Magnifier in Windows 7 has been improved to make it easier to use. You can define a scale and coordinates so that the Magnifier keeps track of keyboard focus. Press the TAB key to move the dialog box and zoom automatically.

　　17. Run the program in different status

Hold down the SHIFT key and right-click any program shortcut, and you can have an option to run the program as a different user, such as using a restricted account with a child in your home to temporarily use a higher privilege.

In fact, this is not a new feature, it can be done in Windows XP, but in Vista, Microsoft has "made" it out. Very good, Microsoft has changed its mind again!

Translator Note: To use this feature in Windows XP, you need to turn on the secondary Logon service.

　　18, use the command line to set the time zone

A new command to set the time zone is added to Windows 7: Tzutil.exe. This means that you can set a time zone for your PC by scripting, and IT administrators will definitely like it.

For example, to set a PC to Greenwich Mean time, use the command:

Tzutil/s "GMT Standard Time"

There are several other parameters to choose from, such as tzutil/g, display the current time zone, tzutil/l list all time zones.

　　19, adjust the computer volume

In Windows 7 's default state, when a voice phone (pc-based) is typed or typed in, it automatically lowers the volume of the PC speaker. If you do not want to use this feature, you can set it off at any time. Right-click the horn icon on the taskbar, choose Sounds "Communications, according to their own needs to set up."
