12. Adaptive Display Brightness The display on a typical mobile PC consumes more battery power than any other part of the computer. Windows 7 automatically reduces display brightness after a period of inactivity, much like cell phones do today. In addition, Windows 7 intelligently adapts to your activity. For example, if the screen dims after 30 seconds and you immediately move the mouse to brighten the display, Windows 7 will wait 60 seconds before dimming the display again.
13. Notify Me, My Way Windows 7 helps solve more problems, and, solve them on your schedule. The Action Center is a new, integrated Control Panel experience that provides a central place to go for tasks and notifications associated with keeping your computer running smoothly. You’ll see fewer notifications on your desktop because the Action Center consolidates alerts from ten existing Windows features. When Windows 7 needs your attention, you’ll see a new icon in the notification area.

The DVD (or CD) is now ready to be used without ever having to find, install, and use a third-party tool.
16. Locale Specific One of the many new features in Windows 7 is the Control Panel’s Default Location where you can store your location information (Country, ZIP code, geographical coordinates). Internet applications that are location dependent are faster when your location is known, for example, finding attractions near you. Also, programs can find and download files faster when your location is known.

34. …More Windows 7 Tips and Tricks Tip 29: Command Junkies Only Tip 30: It’s a Global Village Tip 31: The Font of All Knowledge Tip 32: Gabriola Tip 33: Who Stole My Browser? Tip 34: Rearranging the Furniture Tip 35: It’s A Drag Tip 36: Standards Support Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2009/01/12/the-bumper-list-of-windows-7-secrets.aspx
35. Command Junkies Only One of the most popular power toys in Windows XP was “Open Command Prompt Here”, which enabled you to use the graphical shell to browse around the file system and then use the context menu to open a command prompt at the current working directory. In Windows 7 hold the Shift key down while selecting the context menu to get exactly the same effect. If the current working directory is a network location, it will automatically map a drive letter for you.
36. It’s a Global Village Wallpapers match the locale you selected when you installed Windows. For example, for US locale, you’ll see beautiful views of Crater Lake in Oregon, the Arches National Park, a beach in Hawai’i, etc.) Several sets of themed wallpapers are installed based on the language you choose, but the others are in a hidden directory. If you’re feeling in an international mood, simply browse to C:indowslobalizationCT and you’ll see a series of pictures under the Wallpaper directory for each country. Double-click on the theme file in the Theme directory to display a rotation through all the pictures for that country. (Note that some countries contain a generic set of placeholder art for now.)
37. The Font of All Knowledge Font installation is a snap– there is now a “Install” button to the font viewer applet that takes care of the installation process: There are lots of other new features built into Windows 7 that will satisfy those of a typographic bent, incidentally – grouping multiple weights together, the ability to hide fonts based on regional settings, a new text rendering engine built into the DirectWrite API, and support in the Font common file dialog for more than the four “standard” weights. For example:
38. Gabriola As well as the other typographic features mentioned above, Windows 7 includes Gabriola, an elaborate display type from the Tiro Typeworks foundry that takes advantage of OpenType Layout to provide a variety of stylistic sets, flourishes and ornamentation ligatures:
39. Who Stole My Browser? If Internet Explorer is taking a long time to load your page, it’s worth taking a look at the add-ons installed. One of the more helpful little additions in Internet Explorer 8 is instrumentation for add-on initialization, allowing you to quickly see whether you’re sitting around waiting for plug-ins to load. Click Tools / Manage Add-ons, and then scroll right in the list view to see the load time. Disable add-ons that you don’t use it from the same dialog box.
40. Rearranging the Furniture Unless you’ve seen it demonstrated, you may not know that the icons in the new taskbar aren’t fixed in-place. You can reorder them to suit your needs, whether they’re pinned shortcuts or running applications. What’s particularly nice is that once they’re reordered, you can start a new instance of any of the first five icons by pressing Win+1,Win+2,Win+3, etc. What’s less well-known is that you can similarly drag the system tray icons around to rearrange their order, or move them in and out of the hidden icon list. It’s an easy way to customize your system to show the things you want, where you want them.
41. It’s a Drag Much play has been made of the Jump Lists feature in Windows 7, allowing applications like Windows Live Messenger to offer an easy task-based entry point. Jump lists replace the default right-click context menu in the new taskbar; another way to access them is by left-clicking and dragging up in a kind of “swooshing” motion. This was designed for touch-enabled devices where the same gesture applies. Another place where you can “swoosh” (not an official Microsoft term) is the IE 8 address bar, where the downward drag gesture brings up an expanded list containing the browser history, favorites and similar entries. The slower you drag, the cooler the animation!
42. Standards Support WordPad can now read and write both the Word 2007-compatible Office Open XML file format but also the OpenDocument specification:
43. …More Windows 7 Tips and Tricks Tip 37: Running with Elevated Rights Tip 38: One More of the Same, Please Tip 39: Specialized Windows Switching Tip 40: Starting Explorer from “My Computer” Tip 41: ClearType Text Tuning and Display Color Calibration Tip 42: When All Else Fails… Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2009/01/12/the-bumper-list-of-windows-7-secrets.aspx
44. Running with Elevated Rights Want to quickly launch a taskbar-docked application as an administrator? Hold down Ctrl+Shift while you click on the icon, and you’ll immediately launch it with full administrative rights (assuming your account has the necessary permissions, of course!)
45. One More of the Same, Please If you’ve already got an application open on your desktop (for example, a command prompt window), and you want to open a second instance of the same application, you don’t have to go back to the start menu. You can simply hold down the Shift key while clicking on the taskbar icon, and it will open a new instance of the application rather than switching to the existing application. For a keyboard-free shortcut, you can middle-click with the third mouse button to do the same thing.
46. Specialized Windows Switching Another feature that power users will love is the ability to do a kind of “Alt+Tab” switching across windows that belong to just one application. For example, if you’ve got five Outlook message windows open along with ten other windows, you can quickly tab through just the Outlook windows by holding down the Ctrl key while you repeatedly click on the single Outlook icon. This will toggle through each of the five Outlook windows in order, and is way faster than opening Alt+Tab and trying to figure out which of the tiny thumbnail images relates to the specific message you’re trying to find.
47. Starting Explorer from “My Computer” If you spend more time manipulating files outside of the documents folders than inside, you might want to change the default starting directory for Windows Explorer so that it opens at the Computer node: Navigate to Windows Explorer in the Start Menu (it’s in the Accessories folder). Then edit the properties and change the target to read: %SystemRoot%xplorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
48. ClearType Text Tuning and Display Color Calibration If you want to tune up your display for image or text display, we have the tools included out of the box. It’s amazing what a difference this makes: by slightly darkening the color of the text and adjusting the gamma back a little, this laptop display looks much crisper than it did before. Check out cttune.exe and dccw.exe respectively, or run the applets from Control Panel. You’d adjust the brightness and contrast settings on a fancy 42” HDTV: do the same for the computer displays that you stare at every day!
49. When All Else Fails… There are always those times when you’re in a really bad spot – you can’t boot up properly, and what you really want is something you can quickly use to get at a command prompt so you can properly troubleshoot. Windows 7 now includes the ability to create a system repair disc, which is essentially a CD-bootable version of Windows that just includes the command prompt and a suite of system tools. Type “system repair disc” in the Start Menu search box, and you’ll be led to the utility.
