Windows 7

Windows 7

I have upgraded my machine from Windows 7 RC to Windows 7 RTM.  I have found two new tips that I thought I would share with the world.  Although I think these tips were in the previous builds but I just came across them.  So if these are a repeat, sorry!

Live Clutter-Free

Windows 7 gets rid of all the extra windows behind your active window.  Just hit Win+Home to minimize all inactive windows.  To restore the windows when you would like them, just press Win+Home again.

Help the Help Desk Help You

Solving problems unique to a machine can be an arduous task for both the end-user and the help desk. That’s why Windows 7 introduces the Problem Steps Recorder, a screen-capture tool that allows the end-user to record the problems they’re having step-by-step. It’s as simple as hitting “record” then adding in comments as needed. A HTML-based file is converted to a .ZIP folder, which is easily passed on to the help desk. The program is accessible from the Control Panel under “Record steps to reproduce a problem” or run psr.exe from Explorer.

  • Well that is a cool little snipit.  Anything that adds a little speed with a simple short cut is a good thing.
