Windows7 70 Tips and tricks

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

1.PCSafeguard 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. Pcsafeguard 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 Pcsafeguard, first control Panel-user account next create a new account, then select "Enable Pcsafeguard" 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

Luckily, Windows7 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".

But with the advent of Windows7, 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.

　　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 Windows7 can be easily done.
