If you want to make the most of Windows PowerShell on Windows 7, you'll need a quick way to build and debug scripts. Windows 7 comes with an interactive editor that allows you to try out cmdlets and test functions on the fly.33. Drag-and-Drop Notification Icons.  The  redesigned notification area displays only a minimum number of  icons;  all other notification icons are moved to a side window. Rather  than  using the Customize option to select icons for the main display,  you can  drag-and-drop icons from the side window to the notification  area.34. Add Unindexed Shared Folders to Library.  You  can add UNC paths such as \\servername\sharename to a Library, but  the  server must index the folder. If you want to add a UNC path to an   unindexed server, you can create a symbolic link to the UNC path, then   add the link or links to the library. Use the mklink command. For   example, mklink HomeFolder \\ServerName\Homefolder.35. Simplify Cloned Machine Setups.You   can't run Sysinternals' newsid utility to change the identity of a   cloned Windows 7 machine (either a virtual machine or imaged PC).   Instead, create a template installation then run sysprep /oobe   /generalize /reboot /shutdown /unattend:scriptfile. Clone or copy this   virtual machine file. When it launches, it will get a new SID and you   can fill in the name. The reference for building unattended script files   is at tinyurl.com/winunattend.36. Snap That Aero.  The  Windows key is great for all your shortcuts. Now you can use it to  work  with the new AeroSnap feature in Windows 7. Select a window, hit  the  Windows key and a left or right arrow to snap the window to that  half of  the screen, or use the up arrow to snap it to the top of the  screen.37. Shortcut the Taskbar.  The  Windows key is great for shortcuts. You can select the Windows key  and a  number to correspond to items on your taskbar. So, if IE (for  example)  is the third icon on your taskbar (not counting the Start  button), you  can hit the Windows key and the number three to launch or  open IE.38. Manage Passwords.Control   Panel includes a new application called Credential Manager. This may   appear to be a completely new tool that allows you to save your   credentials (usernames and passwords) for Web sites you log into and   other resources you connect to (such as other systems). Those   credentials are saved in the Windows Vault, which can be backed up and   restored. However, you might see this as similar to a tool we have in XP   and Vista. From the Instant Search, type in control /userpasswords2  and  you will be brought to the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel,  where  you can also manage passwords for your account (see Figure 4).<img src="http://i.technet.microsoft.com/ee529571.ward.fig4.credentialmanager%28en-us%29.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Figure 4 The Credential Manager provides a handy, secure place to store passwords.

You have the ability to   take an event (select it in Event Viewer) and then from the Actions   pane, select the option "Attach a Task" to have that event, when it   appears, trigger an action. That action can be: launch a program; send   an e-mail; or display a message. This feature may be very helpful in   troubleshooting a problem.40. Browse InPrivate.A   new feature in IE8 is the ability to open the browser in an InPrivate   Browsing session that allows you to perform banking and so forth from a   public location without fear of leaving behind any residue. IE will  not  retain anything you do in an In Private Browsing session. You can   perform this action if you are already within IE by selecting the Safety   button and then InPrivate Browsing. This will open another IE window   altogether. However, you can save a few steps by using the shortcut.   Right-click the desktop IE icon, click InPrivate and the windows will   open in an InPrivate session already.41. Go Live.  Many  applications installed on past versions of Windows have been  removed.  Starting with Windows 7, these applications (and a few others  not  typically installed with Windows) have been moved into the Live   Essentials downloadable applications, at download.live.com. These   applications include Messenger, Mail, Writer, Photo Gallery, Movie   Maker, Family Safety and a few others.42. Remove Apps.Although   some applications have been moved off of Windows to become an optional   download, other apps, such as IE8, Media Player, Media Center and DVD  Maker  are still included. In times past, especially when it came to IE,  the  applications were tied into the OS. However, in Windows 7 you can  easily  remove them if desired. Head to the Program and Features applet  in  Control Panel and select the "Turn Windows features on or off" link  in  the top left-hand corner. Then you can select the checkbox of the   features you want to lose or add for your system (see Figure 5).<img src="http://i.technet.microsoft.com/ee529571.ward.fig5.featuresonoff%28en-us%29.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Figure 5 Windows 7 unbinds many applications from the OS, making it easy to add and remove them.

This  rating is a collection of five different ratings that are  determined by  the Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT). The highest  rating score  is 7.9 (compared to 5.9 in Vista), using the categories of  Processor,  RAM, Graphics, Gaming Graphics and Primary Hard Disk. The  final rating  is not an average of all the ratings, but the lowest of  the subcomponent  scores. 44. Analyze Processes.  One  of the coolest new features in the revamped Resource Monitor  (resmon)  is the ability to see the "wait chain traversal." An  unresponsive  process will be shown in red in the Resource Monitor;  right-click the  process and choose Analyze Process. This will show the  threads in the  process and see who holds the resources that are holding  up the process  itself. You can then kill that part of the process if  you like. 45. Create Virtual Worlds.  Virtualization  capability has been added to the Disk Management tools.  If you open  Computer Management, go to the Disk Manager tool and then  click the  Action button at top, you will see the options Create VHD  and/or Attach  VHD. This allows you to create and mount a virtual hard  drive directly  from within the GUI. Note: With Windows 7 you even have  the ability to  boot a Windows 7 VHD (see Figure 6). <img src="http://i.technet.microsoft.com/ee529571.ward.fig6.vhdcreate%28en-us%29.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Figure 6 Windows   7 adds a great deal of virtualization support, including the ability  to  create and attach virtual hard drives from the GUI.

Maybe you've managed to never misplace or lose a  USB  key, but for the rest of us mere mortals, it's a fact of life. Most  of  the time it's no big deal, but what if it contains sensitive data?   BitLocker To Go enables you to encrypt data on removable storage  devices  with a password or a digital certificate stored on a smart  card. The 14 Best Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts The Windows key now performs a wide variety of functions. Here are a handful of the most useful ones: 64. Win+h - Move current window to full screen 65. Win+i - Restore current full screen window to normal size or minimize current window if not full screen 66. Win+Shift+arrow - Move current window to alternate screen 67. Win+D - Minimize all windows and show the desktop 68. Win+E - Launch Explorer with Computer as the focus 69. Win+F - Launch a search window 70. Win+G - Cycle through gadgets 71. Win+L - Lock the desktop 72. Win+M - Minimize the current window 73. Win+R - Open the Run window 74. Win+T - Cycle through task bar opening Aero Peek for each running item 75. Win+U - Open the Ease of Use center 76. Win+Space - Aero Peek the desktop   47. Lock with Group Policy.Take   control through AppLocker application control. AppLocker intercepts   kernel calls that try to create new processes or load libraries and   ensures the code is allowed to execute. Practically, that means you can   eliminate unknown and unwanted software by implementing AppLocker   through Group Policy. 48. Be Our Guest.  Guest  mode proves a convenient method to give a guest or child access  to your  computer with limits on making system changes, installing  software, or  writing to the disk outside the user profile. After the  user is done and  logs off, data saved inside of the user profile is  deleted. 49. Restore from Backed up Restore Points.  You  can choose to include restore points in your backups and restore  from  them when using System Restore. This is convenient if you want to  create  a baseline of a working configuration and be able to restore to  it in  the future without overwriting other data on the hard disk.     50. Benefit from BranchCache.BranchCache  helps  you save on round trips for requested files in remote branch  scenarios.  If one person requests a file over the WAN, it's cached  locally and  either distributed across computers at the remote branch or  stored on a  central server at the remote branch. 51. Disable Search Suggestion Popups.  As  you type in the Search Box, Windows 7 makes suggestions based on  past  queries by pulling past queries from the Registry. You can disable  this  in the Local Group Policy by enabling User Configuration |   Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer | Turn   Off Display Of Recent Search Entries In the Windows Explorer. 52. Pin Control Panel to Taskbar.  If  you use the Control Panel frequently, you may have noticed that you   cannot simply right-click the Control Panel and select Pin to Taskbar.   Instead, you must first Open Control Panel so its icon appears in the   taskbar. From there, you can right-click the icon in the taskbar and   select Pin this program to taskbar. 53. Leverage Search Connectors.  You  can now search the Web using the search functionality. Windows 7   includes Federated Search to increase the search scope beyond the local   and network resources. Several search connectors are available, such as   for YouTube and Twitter, or you can create custom ones to fit your   needs. 54. Use Stickier Notes.  Even  though this feature has existed in previous versions of Windows  in one  form or another, it's much easier to use in Windows 7. You can  stick a  note on your desktop for quick reminders. It's a snap to change  the font  or note color. If you have a note selected, use Ctrl-N to  create a new  one. 55. Try out Improved WordPad.  You  probably haven't given much thought to WordPad lately, but the  version  shipping with Windows 7 has undergone a major renovation. Think  of it as  a lite version of Microsoft Word. WordPad sports a spiffy  ribbon  interface, making it a snap to create well-formatted documents.  Plus,  you are no longer relegated to saving them as .RTF files. WordPad  now  supports the Office Open XML document (.DOCX) format. This makes  it even  easier to open .DOCX files created in Word in WordPad. 56. Calculate.Another   basic utility that received a major overhaul is the venerable   calculator. In addition to standard and scientific views, there are now   programmer and statistic modes. You will also love the conversion and   calculation features. Want to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but can   never remember the formula? Use the conversion panel. You'll also enjoy   the data calculation extension. Quickly find the difference between two   dates or calculate a new date by adding or subtracting years, months  or  days. 57. Manage Services from Task Manager.  The  Windows 7 Task Manager now includes a tab to manage services. You  can  quickly see at a glance the status of all services on your machine.   Click a column heading to sort. You can even start and stop services   with a simple right-click. If you need full-blown service management,   use the Services button to launch the Services management console. You   may often have the Task Manager running in the system tray; now, having   service management access means one less window to have open. </blockquote>
