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”
