Iii. Windows key + Tab key

7. Windows key + x

[PURPOSE]: Open the "mobile center" setting window.

[Shortcut key]:Win + x

[Conclusion]: The setting window includes display brightness control, volume control, laptop battery monitoring, mobile phone synchronization settings, and external display management... And other functions

8. Fix system default file association

[Function]: Fix Default System File Association

[Shortcut key]: None

[Conclusion]: When we accidentally break the default file association of the system, this will be useful. In win7, file associations are not as easy to modify as in WINXP. Do not believe it? Try

[Operation method]: Start-> cmd, enter Assoc. xxx = xxxfile in the following format

Xxx indicates the file type. For example, to fix the file association between TXT and BAT, the command is Assoc. txt = txtfile and Assoc. Bat = batfile.

9. Disable System sleep

[Function]: Disable System sleep.

[Shortcut key]: None

[Conclusion]: The sleep function in Windows 7 requires support from hardware and operating systems. Currently, this function has many problems. We recommend that you disable it before the official version is available, it also saves a lot of disk space (about 4 GB) for the system disk ).

[Operation method]: Start-> cmd, enter powercfg-H off, and press ENTER

10. Windows keys + keypad direction keys

[Function]: quickly resize the window

[Shortcut key]: Win + Dynamic Route →

[Conclusion]: during work and study, if you need to view the content of multiple windows at the same time, XP needs to adjust the window size and position manually. Win7 provides this convenient and fast function (for example, if two windows are used, you can combine the two windows with the two windows), which maximizes and minimizes the current window.

11. Modify hosts and service files without modifying Permissions

[Role]: Modify system files such as hosts and service

[Shortcut key]: None

[Conclusion]: Windows 7 has strict user permission management. By default, you cannot directly modify files such as hosts and service, prompting you to have no permission. There are many tutorials on the Internet to explain how to obtain administrator or file permissions. If you only want to modify a file like this, you don't need to change it so much. Just a little action *_!

[Operation method]: copy the file system folder other than hosts and service, modify the file in any editor-Save it, and then paste back to overwrite the file of the same name in the system, done.

12. "Send" in the right-click slimming"

[Role]: Make the right-click more refreshing

[Shortcut key]: None

[Conclusion]: After the system is installed and used for a period of time, you will find that the menu is too long when you want to extend the entire file shortcut to the desktop ...... We only keep the commonly used ones (of course there are still some files that cannot be deleted, hey). The storage location of win7 is very different from that of XP. XP is in "C: \ Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ sendto ", The win7 location is different. Of course, these folders must be hidden by default. If you cannot see them, do not forget to use the Advanced folder option to show hidden files and folders.

[operation method]: Enter c: \ Users \ [user name you are currently logged on to] \ appdata \ roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows \ sendto
