Win 7 Super Useful 50 features and tips

We create a list of some of the most important tips and tricks in Win 7 and introduce them step-by-step.

1. PC Safeguard Computer Guard

I rarely let other people use my computer because I'm afraid they're going to mess it up, but it looks like Microsoft has taken this for me and solved the problem by the way. PC Safeguard will not let anyone mess up the user's computer settings, because when they log off, all settings will return to normal. Of course, he will not restore the user's own settings, but the only thing users need to do is to define the permissions of other users.

To use PC Safeguard, first control Panel-user account next create a new account, then select "Enable PC Safeguard" and then OK. Then the user can be relieved to let others use the user's computer, because nothing will be changed, including settings, download software, installation program.

2. Display Calibration

Fortunately, Windows 7 has the Display Calibration Wizard feature that allows users to adjust the brightness of the screen appropriately, so users do not experience display problems while browsing photos and text. There may be problems with too much brightness when browsing photos on Windows. Now the problem is solved, as long as the user presses WIN+R and then enters "DCCW".

3. AppLocker Application Lock

AppLocker is undoubtedly an excellent helper for enterprise users or users who often need to share a machine with others. Win+r Run Gpedit.msc Open the Local policy Group editor, the Computer Configuration--windows Settings--Security settings--application control policy, right-click one of the options (executable file, install or script) and create a new rule.

4. Mirrored burn

We've all had a problem with mirrored burning under Windows, because this feature is not built into windows and we often need to install third-party software to resolve this issue. But with the advent of Windows 7, these problems have ceased to exist. All we need to do is double-click the ISO image and then burn it into a CD or DVD in the user's CD drive.

5. Play a blank removable device

By default, Windows7 will not play automatically on a blank removable device, and this option can be changed by clicking the Tool-Folder option-View-to cancel the "Hide empty drive in Computer folder" option.

6. Dock the current window to the left of the screen

If the user is as lazy or boring as I am, then the user will often have to change the desktop background of the user, which wastes a lot of time. Now the user does not need to do this anymore because the user can set the slideshow playback. Right-click the desktop-personalization-desktop background and hold down CTRL while you select the picture. The user can then choose to play the time interval of the picture and choose to play it randomly or continuously.

11. Change the taskbar to Vista style

If the user feels that the taskbar occupies too much space on the user's screen, the user can choose to make the icon smaller. To do this, right-click the Start button, select Properties--taskbar Choose "Use small Icon"

15. Unlock files occupied by the process

In Windows, when you delete a file, the system prompts you to "be used by another program" so that it cannot be deleted, which we often encounter. This is because a background process is calling the file, and the deletion can only be done at the end of the process. So how do you locate the process? In general, we need third-party tools such as "Ice Blades". In fact, using its Resource Monitor in Windows 7 can be easily done.

16. Activate the Quick Launch bar

When users are using Windows 7 o'clock, users may miss the Quick Launch bar that looks useful in XP and Vista. Fortunately, the user can get it back through a few quick steps. Right-click the taskbar--toolbars--The new toolbar enters "%userprofile%appdata roamingmicrosoftinternet explorerquick Launch" in the margin, and then selects the folder. Make him look like he's in Vista. Right-click the toolbar-Cancel "lock toolbars", and then right-click to detach and cancel "show title" and "Show text". The last right click on the toolbar and select the Show small icon user is done.

18. Desktop Magnifier
