Five settings tips for Win7 system notebooks

1, let Windows7 energy-saving download

Although today's broadband is much faster than before, but compared to large high-definition movies and large programs are still stretched, so many netizens like to work before or before bedtime set up a good download tool, so that the computer continue to download. Although the computer is only performing downloading tasks at the moment, it actually consumes less energy than normal. In fact, we may wish to use the Windows7 flagship version of a "departure mode", so that the computer can save energy and do not delay the download task.

By default, the exit mode is automatically hidden in Vista or WINDOWS7, and we need to activate it manually. The method is simple, press the shortcut key win+r the Run dialog box, and then enter "Regedit" Open Registry Editor, find and expand [hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/ Sessionmanager/power], and under it to establish a "awaymodeenabled" DWORD32 bit entry, and finally set the value of 1 after the restart can be. After this setting, you will find that when we press the Sleep button again, the power light will be long lit (not leaving the mode power light is blinking), but now the download task is not stopped, and the computer has been transferred to Low-power operation.

Note: When leaving mode is used, it is recommended that the hard drive in power management be set to never stop, and that the laptop Windows7 will change to "never" after this time, with the wireless adapter setting changed to "High performance".

2, familiar with the use of Windows7 Mobile Center

For our ordinary notebook users, computer knowledge is limited, some applications they often use, such as adjusting the brightness of the display, change the wireless network connection, switching power status, connect external monitors and so on. Because these functions are distributed in every corner of the system, operation is not very convenient.

In fact, in Windows7, Microsoft has prepared a Windows Mobility Center for us, specifically to aggregate these features into a single panel. Just press the shortcut key win+x when you use it, and it will pull up this panel. You can see that there are quite a few collections here, including "Display Brightness", "Volume Control", "Power Plan", "Wireless network Control", "External Monitor", "Sync Center", "Demo settings" seven modules, and all can be adjusted in the same panel. How is it? very strong, notebook dedicated yo!

3, let the task bar thin body

Notebook screen is limited, naturally not like the desktop as wander, Windows7 set the door so huge task bar became the screen most of the optimization of a place. As we all know, due to the addition of some new features, the WINDOWS7 task bar is larger and thicker than before. In addition to the right menu, it can be set to auto hide, we can also use the icon display on the brain.

In the taskbar properties panel of Windows7, a taskbar button option is included, and you will see the "Always Merge, Hide label", "merge when Taskbar is full", "never merge" three groups of menus. "Never merge" is the most familiar of all, Vista and early Windows is the default display mode. Generally used in notebooks, we can modify this here to "always merge" or "merge when the taskbar is full" so that when there are too many programs open on the taskbar, the system automatically shrinks each taskbar label to a single button, greatly saving screen space.

4, let the touchpad no longer compete with the mouse

Compared with the desktop, the touchpad may only touch the notebook users, because its position close to the keyboard, input will often be accidentally caused by the mouse shift, in fact, this problem as long as the adjustment of the registry key can be resolved.

First Open Registry Editor, locate and expand [hkey_current_usersoftwaresynapticssyntpenh] and [hkey_local_machinesoftwaresynapticssyntpenh] two branches , where two "Disableintpdfeature" DWORD32 entries are created, and then the value is set to 3 to restart the computer. After this setting you will find that when the external mouse is connected, the Win7 system will automatically disable the touchpad, and when the external mouse pulls away when the touchpad continues to take effect, so that the same annoying touch panel and the mouse struggle with the problem will be easy to handle.

5, let the Windows7 close the lid does not turn off the machine

Unlike desktops, laptops have a flip-through LCD screen, and the screen is often covered for easy portability. But a small problem arises, that is, after the screen, many computer systems will automatically shutdown, sometimes not very convenient.

In fact, Windows7 provides us with a wealth of operation options, in its power → "Power Options" panel, there is a "choose to close the lid function" menu (left column). After clicking, you can select the sleep operation when the upper cover is closed (in fact, the LCD screen) when using the battery or when using an external power supply. You can see here a total of "do not take any action", "Sleep", "hibernate", "shutdown" four groups of buttons, as long as the actual situation in accordance with their own changes can be.
