Win8 system practical small skill collection

1. About the Start menu

Win8 released so far, everyone's most of the spit is concentrated in the Win7 very different from the Metro start interface, in fact, we do not need to do so. Because Microsoft in the development of WIN8 also take into account the Win7 user transition Win8 can adapt, the surface of the Start menu completely replaced by the Metro interface, in fact, the change in the traditional Start menu location or take care of many very dependent on the Start menu of the old users.

Start Menu Hide Interface

On the one hand, the user directly clicks on the keyboard or the device to provide the win key can directly eject the Metro Start menu, this design and Win7 exactly the same.

On the other hand, the user will move the mouse to the lower left corner of the desktop will pop up hidden Metro Preview window, click to enter the Metro start interface, so as the shortcut win button mouse operation alternatives.

All of the above two methods are WIN8 user comparison, and if users want to implement such as Win7 Start menu more complex features, you can start the preview window after the pop-up right-click to pop-up hidden Start Menu Function menu, so you can easily realize the traditional start interface most of the functions.

Used to Win7, the uninstall users of the program are selected to enter the control Panel of the program management to uninstall the relevant software, however, in the Win8 you can try in the Metro interface to easily uninstall unwanted programs, compared with the traditional method, Under the Metro interface uninstall software not only supports the normal. exe program, but also supports the application store to download the installed magnetic patch software. (However, the disadvantage of this approach is that traditional. exe software uninstall will still bounce back into the control surface version of the program management)

　2. Quick Search

More diverse and complex features integrated into the WIN8, which makes it very confusing for users to search for content, how can I quickly find what I need? In fact, the search function of WIN8 is still quite powerful.

Search interface

Users can enter the search box directly to find the content to find what needs, without scruple to classify, as shown in the search box, the author entered "regedit" to find the Registry Editor. If the user wants a more accurate lookup, the user can also use win+w, win+f, and win+q to implement the exact lookup in the settings category, the file category, and the application category, respectively.

　　3. Input Method switch

May be in the Win7, you have been accustomed to switch input method with the Ctrl+shift, however, after using the WIN8, you will find a more effective method of switching skills, is "win+ space", in the use of "win+ space" after you will find that switching input method becomes more simple and orderly.

　4. More powerful Task Manager

Task Manager interface

Compared to Win7,win8 's own task Manager appears to be a lot more powerful, not only to provide users with more content to monitor, but also to support the user each project one by one, practicality is very high. Double-click the graph can also become a simplified curve monitoring mode, I believe that with the system's own task Manager, you almost do not have to consider the installation of any Third-party manager.

5. Switching between multiple tasks

As with Win7 in multitasking switching functions, WIN8 provides users with two switching methods, one is to "ALT + +" to achieve multitasking (also including the Metro Application Task), the other is the "win+tab" implementation of the desktop and the Metro interface and the application of the switch between the tiles. And the Win7 "Win+tab" function is also reflected in this aspect.

　6. Drop Down Program

Just start Win8 users will certainly because how quickly shut down the program and racked their brains, in fact, shut down the program everything can come so simple, if your pen electrical products support touch, then just use the finger Touch program on the curb Drop-down can close the currently displayed program. If your pen electrical product has no touch function, you can also use the mouse to imitate this action to quickly close the program. Of course, on the Win7 "soil Method" "Alt+f4" is also available.

　7. Multi-screen display

Due to the focus compatibility between the software, the screen after the display of some of the interface under the mouse click the split screen state will disintegrate, so the usefulness of this function is still playing a considerable amount of this deduction. However, for users who do not need to click to browse the operation, it is convenient to observe two windows at the same time.
