Window 7 is an operating system produced by Microsoft company. Discovering features in window 7 is an important task if you are a window 7 user. To figure out more, please check out my slide show. CS101 Assignment: <a> Zaman University Phnom Penh Cambodia </a>

2. The Windows Task Manager is often used for troubleshooting – perhaps closing
an application that isn’t working properly or monitoring system resource
usage. However, there’s a lot more you can do with Windows 7’s Task Manager.
To quickly open the Task Manager, right -click your taskbar and select Start
Task Manager. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to quickly launch the Task
Manager with a keyboard shortcut. Windows 8 may have a great new task
manager, but Windows 7’s is still useful.

4. Send a Message To Another Logged
In User
From the Users tab in the Task
Manager, you can see which users are
currently logged into your computer.
These can be either remote connections
or locked local sessions.
You can also send a message to
another logged in user from here – just
select the user and click Send
Message. If the user is currently using
the computer, a message box with your
message will pop up on their desktop.

5. Arrange and Manage Windows
The Applications tab in the
Windows Task Manager shows your
open program windows. You can
double-click one to switch to it, or
right-click one and select Minimize
or Maximize to show or hide it.
You can also select multiple
windows (hold Ctrl as you click
each window in the list), right-click
them, and tile them horizontally or
vertically.

6. See Which Applications Have Used
Your CPU The Most
• The Processes tab shows which
processes are currently using
CPU on your computer, but
that’s only a small part of the
picture. To see which processes
have been using the most CPU
on your computer, you can use
the CPU Time column, which is
hidden by default.
To show it, click the View
menu, click Select Columns, and
enable the CPU Time option.

7. • Click the CPU Time
column to sort your
processes by CPU Time –
the processes with the
most CPU time have
used the most CPU
resources.
Note that this only shows
the CPU resources used by
running programs – if a
program isn’t running
anymore, you won’t see
how much CPU it’s used.

8. Manage Process Priorities
Windows processes each have a priority setting – a high-priority process is first
in line to use the CPU when it has something to do, while a low priority process
will have to wait at the end of the line.
If an application should be allocated more CPU resources – or less CPU
resources – you can change its priority in the Task Manager. Just right -click a
process, point to Set Priority, and select a priority.
(You can right-click an application on the Applications tab and select Go to
Process to quickly select the application’s process.)

9. If you use a multi-core CPU – or a
CPU with hyperthreading – Windows
gives each process the ability to use
all your CPUs. However, some
programs – particularly older games
— may not work properly if they’re
able to run on all CPU cores.
To restrict an application to a specific
CPU, right-click its process and select
Set Affinity. In the Processor Affinity
window, select the CPUs that should
be allowed to run the process.

10. Change Compatibility
Settings
If you have a problem with an
application, you can change
its compatibility settings right
from the Task Manager. Just
select a process, right-click
it, and select Properties. Use
the options on the
Compatibility tab to modify
the program’s compatibility
settings.

11. View Linked Processes and Services
Have you ever wondered just what
“svchost.exe” actually is? If you click the
Show processes from all users
button, you’ll see multiple svchost.exe
processes using different amounts of
memory and CPU.
Svchost.exe is actually a Windows process
that runs Windows services – if you want to
see exactly which services a svchost.exe
process is running, right-click it and select
Got to Service(s).

12. This will take you to
the Services tab, with
the services your
process is linked to
highlighted.
You can also right-
click a service on the
Services tab and
select Go to Process
to view its linked
process.

13. Monitor CPU Usage
The Task Manager includes a system tray icon, so it
can be used to monitor CPU usage.
Its system tray icon is likely hidden by default –
you’ll have to click the arrow next to your system
tray and drag and drop the icon to your notification
area. After you do, you’ll have a constantly updating
CPU meter on your screen when the Task Manager
is open.
