Many of you are now using Windows 7. Some of the more affluent \t\tamong you received a new Windows 7 computer for Christmas. Quick-tips \t\tare tips you can learn and use quickly. See? Quick-tips? Got it?<\/p>\n

Here are a few Quick-tips for those of you who are now \t\tusing Windows 7:<\/p>\n

Windows 7 Quickie<\/strong> – You can minimize all \t\topen windows except for the one you have on top, by clicking Windows Key \t\t+ Home Key. Click again to re-open all those windows.<\/p>\n

IE 8 Address Bar Surprise in Windows 7<\/strong> – One of my favorite \t\tfeatures in Windows 7! Just drag the address bar downwards using your \t\tleft mouse key, and the address bar will slowly expand to show you your \t\tHistory, Favorites and Typed URLs.<\/p>\n

Rearranging Icons in your Taskbar or System Tray<\/strong> -You can quickly \t\tand easily rearrange the items\/icons in your taskbar by simply holding \t\tyour left mouse key down and dragging them from one spot to another. You \t\tcan reorder both pinned shortcuts or running applications to suit your \t\tneeds.<\/p>\n

Did you know you can also change the order of the icons in your system \t\ttray? You can even drag them into and out of view. I keep programs I \t\topen often, such as Roboform icon, in view close to my system clock. I \t\tmoved CalendarPal’s weather icon next to the system clock for quick view \t\tand moved antivirus and other system icons out of view.<\/p>\n

More Wallpaper in Windows 7 <\/strong>– Windows 7 includes wallpaper with \t\timages from beautiful places from your country (if you are in US, it \t\tinstalls US landmarks, if you are in Canada, it installs Canada \t\tlandmarks, etc. ) If you would like to choose from some of the other \t\tcountry choices, they are actually right on your computer. Just type or \t\tcopy the following into your browser: C:\\Windows\\Globalization\\MCT It \t\twill open a folder on your hard drive that has wallpaper choices from a \t\tnumber of countries including the USA, Australia, UK, Canada and South \t\tAfrica. Look in the “Theme” Folder, double click the file to activate \t\tthe choices.<\/p>\n

Since each icon is larger and appears as a graphical thumbnail, you can easily see what each icon is for. For even more user friendly features, if you hover over any of the thumbnails in the taskbar, it expands to a larger view for an even better peek at what is open. Finally, you can change the size of the icons. This is just a glimpse at what you will be able to do with the new thumbnail taskbar!<\/p>\n
