These tips are exclusive and enhance your user experience to use windows 7 efficiently. The tips detail is as below.

1
Access to hidden international topics, simply type C: \ \ Windows \ \ Globalization \ \ MCT in the search field and type. You will see a folder other topics countries.
2
Disk repair system immediately after install only if you have problems booting Win7 later. Just go to Start, maintenance, creating a system repair disk, and then Windows 7 will build a bootable emergency disk.
3
Windows 7 WordPad is a new format, you can save and open, now you can save or open a Word2007. Docx and Open Document. ODT format.
4
Use BitLocker To Go to encrypt data on USB memory stick or other removable media, with a digital certificate or a password for access.
5
Right-click an empty part of the desktop in Windows 7, and, instead of needing to pass through the monitor setup, you will find the menu to set the screen resolution.
6
Install the best free antivirus / Security Suite for Windows 7. Just install Microsoft’s own Security Essentials, free, fast and does a good job.
7
Make wallpapers slideshow, Once you have selected as your desktop background image just hold down the CTRL key and select as many images as you want. Then choose how to delay the changes, and even select the shuffle, and enjoy.
8
Right click the Explorer icon on the taskbar to get quick access to the folder Windows, documents and photographs.
9
Install Win7 on a netbook with a USB stick. Take a 4GB USB 2.0 Flash / thumb drive and format it in FAT32, then just copy an ISO image to the flash drive with xcopy d: \ e: \ \ / d / e (where d: is the DVD drive, E: is the usb drive space).
10
Windows logo + G appears in front of other windows gadgets
11
Windows 7 includes a major task preview feature was, is, if you roll over open programs’icon in the taskbar, the preview comes up and where you can switch to, or even close the program. By default, you have to mouse over the icon for a short time (400milliseconds) for it to appear. I want it a bit faster and you can make it through a registry change. Just get into regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Mouse. Double-click Mouse Hover Time, and set the value in milliseconds (say, 200) for what you want. Click OK and exit and restart.
12
Windows logo + zoom +
13
Change the power switch. Windows 7 appears to exclude the button from the Start menu, but change it into something else just right-click the Start Orb, select Properties, and then boot off of what you want.
14
ALT + P Show or hide the preview pane of Explorer
15
Windows-logo + – Loitonna
16
You Don’t need a separate burner to burn the ISO images any more, Windows 7 now supports this. Just right click the ISO file and click Burn Disc Image, and easier to just double-click the ISO.
17
Calibrate your screen by typing dccw in the Start menu. The steps you through the adjustment of gamma, brightness, contrast and color of your screen.
18
Show hidden stations. Win7 will no longer appear stations (eg, mem cards), if they’re currently empty. If you want to see them go to Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, Show and Hide empty floppy drive in your computer folder.
19
You’ve already got an app open on your desktop and you want to copy half run, just Shift-click the icon in the taskbar and it opens a new one. Another way (and easier), the middle-click the taskbar icon.
20
Cttune.exe run to tune the Clear Type font display. You get the text looking perfect on your screen.
21
If you are often the same folder, right-click in Explorer Favorites on the left menu, and choose Bookmark. It seems at the bottom of your Favorites list for quick access.
22
You can reorder the system tray icons, just drag them into the order you want on the tray, or you can even move out (and back) the tray.
23
Windows 7 will automatically reduce screen brightness after a period of inactivity (a bit like mobile phones do), but Windows 7 adapted to your business. For example, if the screen is dampened after 30 seconds and you move the mouse once to illuminate the screen, Windows 7 will wait 60 seconds before dimming the screen again. Well when you look at the video – actually, I am sure my Vista makes it.
24
If you have Windows Live Messenger from the toolbar and back into the system tray where it should be shut down Windows Live Messenger and edit the shortcut properties by choosing to run in Windows Vista Compatibility Mode.
25
For Windows 7 Start Menu is the default power option, a simple down and that’s what I want. Bit, if you want something else, you can easily change the default to switch users, log off, lock, restart, or sleep. All you do is right-click the Start button, Properties, Start Menu tab, select the Power button action you want. Much better than how to change the shutter button in Vista
26
Add videos to the Start menu by simply right-click the Start button, select Properties and then click Customize. Select Display as a link in the Videos section near the bottom.
27
Rearrange the taskbar by dragging them into whatever order you want. And you can start the first five icons with a button: just press the Windows-1, window 2, etc.
28
With this windows 7 tips you disable / remove IE8 in Windows 7. Click on the Start menu and go to Control Panel and find Programs and Features. Click the Windows features on or off link on the left and remove the checkmark next to Internet Explorer 8.
29
Turn Your Laptop Into Windows 7 Wi-Fi hotspots. Microsoft’s Windows 7 has something called Virtual WiFi, which makes a wireless card to act as several separate one. Just go and use free software Connectify and make you the notebook / laptop / netbook in a Wi-Fi hotspot for free.
30
Control Panel has a new tool that allows you to save your username and password, the \ name is Credential Manager. These identities are stored in a vault, which can be backed up.
31
Install Windows 7 on your Netbook. Use ImgBurn Setup convert DVD to an ISO. Copy the ISO to a USB flash drive using Microsoft’s Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. Restart the netbook and boot from the USB mem button and follow the instructions to install.
32
You can move windows between multiple monitors, but to minimize or shrink the window first.
33
Pin Up the folders you use most on your taskbar. Hold your mouse over the folder, click and drag it to the taskbar. Windows 7 pins automatically to the Explorer Jump List.
34
Shake off Aero in Windows 7. Run regedit.exe and find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ \ Software \ \ Policies \ \ Microsoft \ \ Windows, right-click the Windows key and create a new key called Explorer, right-click on the right and create a new 32 — bit DWORD with this data Name: No shortcuts minimize window, Value: 1.

Nobody forces you to install any updates.It is up to you what you want to install.I sometimes "hide" updates because I do not use the program to which they pertain.In Vista I have hidden all of SP2 on one system because it gave me problems on another system and it is smooth sailing since then.So as I said, it's up to you.

From the day when I installed Windows 7, I am getting more and more benefits and satisfaction of good purchase and working. One thing I read somewhere is that with Windows 7, you can now create a ‘System Repair Disc.’ This is a CD bootable version of Windows 7 that includes the command prompt and a suite of system tools. Very handy for those really tough spots (which, with this still in beta, could be just around the corner). To get to this, simply open the Start Menu and type: “system repair disc” in the search field.
