Practical Tips Windows 7 uses the new experience

Although the official version of Windows 7 has not yet been released, there is a growing number of people who are enthusiastic about the beta. The author has been learning and using Windows 7 Beta 1 (build 7000), and has updated it to use 4 versions. Explore some of the more practical tips to use in the process, and share them with you, hoping to help friends who are using or will be using Windows 7.

1. Faster file operation

The copying and moving of files is more frequent in our daily operation. Under normal circumstances, we need to switch the path back and forth, greatly affecting the efficiency. The Windows 7 Resource Manager integrates the copying and moving operations of files into menu items, facilitating our rapid replication and movement operations.

By default, the Windows 7 Resource Manager does not display the menu bar, we can click "organization" → "layout" → "menu bar" to tune it out. If we want to perform a file move, first navigate to the path where the source file is located and select the file (you can choose more than one), and then perform the edit → move to Folder Open Action dialog box to navigate to the target path to complete the task. (Figure 1)

Of course we can also make it easier to do this by modifying the registry: Open Registry Editor, navigate to "Hkey_classes_root\allfilesystemobjects\shellex\contextmenuhandlers", Then under it, create a new two registry keys, Microsoft Copy to service, and Microsoft move to service, setting their default values, "{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13 } "and" {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} ". This allows the copy of the file to be completed through the right-click menu and is also moved. (Figure 2)

2, use the command to set the time zone

As you know, we had to set the system time zone to operate only under the graphical interface. This is not possible if the administrator wants to unify the time zone settings through the script. A new command tzutil is added to Windows 7, which allows us to set the time zone at the command line and, of course, to implement the Uniform settings for scripting implementation time zones.

Tzutil the most commonly used parameters are three: Under the command line to perform "tzutil/l" to list all the time zones, perform "tzutil/g" display the current time zone, as shown in the author's system time Zone is "China Standard Time" that is, Beijing standard times. Of course, the most common is to change the system time zone, such as we want to set the system time zone to the eastern United States time zone, you can execute the command at the command line "tzutil/s" US Eastern Standard "" can be. (Figure 3)

3. Run the application as a different identity

We know that the runas command can be used in Windows systems to run applications in different identities, but command-line operations are difficult for general computer users. Of course, we know that in Windows 2000/xp/2003 we can first hold down "Shift" and then right-click on the application to choose "Run as" to implement running the application in a different capacity, but this requires the "secondary Logon" service to be turned on. I don't know why Vista dropped this feature, but it added to Windows 7. We can also first hold down the Shift key and right-click on the application to select "Run as another User" pop-up dialog box, and then enter the username and password. Unlike the Windows 2000/xp/2003 system, we do not need to open the "secondary Logon" service (Figure 4)
