Microsoft Security Essentials in 7

Windows 7 may be brand new, but that doesn't mean you can't find free or cheap tools to tweak its settings, supplement its features, or smooth an upgrade from XP or Vista. We've compiled a list of ten valuable software tools--many of them free--that can make your Win 7 experience a lot more rewarding.

Like its predecessors, Windows 7 doesn't provide built-in protection against malware such as viruses and spyware. (It does have a firewall, however.) You could pay McAfee or Symantec for this service, but why bother with their protection racket when Redmond's service does the same thing for free? Microsoft Security Essentials provides solid protection for home PCs, and it's free. If you prefer third-party security, check out AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition instead.

Windows 7 Tips and Tricks - 2

Next are more tips to help you know your windows 7 operating system. its operating system bring some new thing to help your work easily.




Burn Images
We all had trouble with image burning in Windows, because it couldn’t do it itself, a standalone software being needed.
With Windows 7 this will not be a problem anymore. Its default image burning on windows 7.
All you have to do is double-click the ISO image and burn it on the CD or DVD that’s inserted in the drive.


Display Empty Removable Drives
Windows 7 will not show empty drives by default, so if you connect an empty drive to your PC, don’t worry, just go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View and uncheck “Hide empty drives in the computer folder”.

This doesn’t seem like a good idea and it should not be default setting, because it will be hard for inexperienced users to figure it out. I bet a lot of users will return their newly bought drive thinking it’s broken.

Preview Photos In Windows Explorer
While in Windows Explorer, Press ALT + P and a preview should appear on the right.

Desktop Magnifier
Press the Windows Key and the Plus Key to zoom in or Windows Key and the Minus Key to zoom out. You can zoom anywhere on the desktop and you can even configure your magnifier.
You can choose to invert colors, follow the mouse pointer, follow the keyboard focus, or the text insertion point.

Minimize Everything Except The Current Window
Press the Windows Key + Home Key.

Troubleshoot Power Management
Windows 7 can tell you how much power your system uses or provide detailed information about the power usage and issues caused by each application and device.
This way you can optimize the way your battery is used, making It last longer.
Press the Windows Key and type “POWERCFG –ENERGY –OUTPUT ”, and it will create a file called energy-report.html in the folder specified by you, after observing your PC for 60 seconds.

If you don’t have any idea try these POWERCFG –ENERGY –OUTPUT D:\energyreport.html then see the result after 60 seconds observing on your path destination.

Windows 7 Tips and Tricks

Building on top of the Windows Vista foundation, Windows 7 adds a great deal of polish and refinement to both the user interface and the underlying architecture. It also introduces many new features and improvements that support new hardware, give power users and casual users alike better tools to manage their digital lives and enable new classes of application experience.


Dock The Current Windows To The Left Side Of The Screen
This new feature seems useful because sometimes it’s disturbing that windows seems to float like crazy on the screen and it’s hard to attach them to one side of it.

Now this can easily be done using a keyboard shortcut. Press the Windows key + Left key to dock it to the left side of the screen.

Dock The Current Windows To The Right Side Of The Screen
Press the Windows key + Right key to dock it to the right side of the screen

Minimize The Current Windows
Press the Windows key + Down

Maximize The Current Windows
Press the Windows key + Up

Display Or Hide The Explorer Preview Panel
Press ALT + P to hide it then once again to display it.


Background Photo Slideshow
You will want to change the background from time to time, wasting a lot of time.
Now you don’t have to do this anymore, because you can set up a slideshow. Right click on the desktop then go to Personalize -> Desktop Background and hold the CTRL key while choosing the images.
Then you can choose the time intervals between images and opt to display them randomly or in a row.

Make The Taskbar Smaller
If you feel like the taskbar is using too much of your screen space, you can choose to make the icons smaller.

To do this, right-click on the Start button, then go to Properties-> Taskbar and set it to “Use small icons”

Combine Taskbar Icons
When you have more windows or applications opened, the taskbar’s space might not be enough for them all, so you need to combine them, just like you would in Windows XP or Vista.
To do this, right-click the Start button, then go to Properties -> Taskbar and check “Combine when taskbar is full”. But I prefer to check “Always combine,hide labels”

Windows 7 and Vista Experience

First time using the windows 7, it was great experience to figure what I want to know more about this operating system. As the issues i’ve ever heard that it was the answer to the vista operating system that need a huge memory and also free space requirement.

You can find the comparison of minimum requirement for windows vista and windows 7 check here


And below is was the first time I figured, the installed windows vista default only need 9GB, its require less free space than vista did. Below is the image of default CPU Usage and memory needed for each operating systems

Window Vista



Window 7


From the picture it definitely the memory resource for windows 7 is less than windows vista. And also check for the free space for default operating system that windows 7 also only need 9 GB, less than vista did, vista need at least 15GB free space requirement.

So just figure it out by your self. Satisfaction guaranteed. Hehe,,….
