• Finding anything on the PC and external hard disk drives is simplified. Open
the Start menu and type in the search box. Select what you want from the
list of instant search results.
• Quickly find a file that has been worked on previously. Rest the mouse
pointer over a program name, or right-click an icon on the taskbar—a
Windows 7 Jump List appears, displaying the documents most recently and
most often used.
• The content view mode in Windows 7 Search includes labels for all
properties for each item (file type, size, file path, date modified, and more),
so search results are easier to interpret.
• Click the small rectangle in the lower-right corner (or Windows logo key +
SPACEBAR key) to peek at the icons and gadgets on the desktop.
• Pin the folders used most onto the taskbar. Hold the mouse pointer over
the folder, right-click, and drag the folder onto the taskbar for easy access.
Right-click any icon on the taskbar, and click Unpin this program from the
taskbar.
• To dock a window on half the screen, drag the window to the left or right.
When the cursor reaches the edge of the screen, the window will snap to half
the size of the screen. Alternatively, press Windows logo key + LEFT
ARROW or Windows logo key + RIGHT ARROW.
• When you work with more than one monitor, use the keyboard shortcuts,
Windows logo key + SHIFT + LEFT ARROW, or Windows logo key + SHIFT +
RIGHT ARROW to move windows from one monitor to another.
• Press Windows logo key + P, and tab through the display options to switch
between displays when using a projector.
• Windows 7 saves your laptop battery by reducing display brightness after a
period of inactivity—but if you immediately interact with the computer to
restore brightness, it waits longer before reducing brightness the next time.
• Use Windows 7 Calculator to calculate in standard, scientific, programmer
and statistics modes. You can even convert temperature, weight, area, time,
and more.
• To open another window of the same program (if more than one instance of
the program can be run), hold SHIFT and click the taskbar icon, or click the
middle button on your mouse.
