If you have made your PC to be a dedicated Windows Media Center machine, then you would greatly benefit from having Windows Media Center automatically start when you boot up the computer. By doing this, it’s ready to go as soon as Windows has finished loading, allowing you to begin enjoying your media sooner.
If you are a heavy user of Windows Media Center, then you want it to at top performance. By enabling the automatic optimization and setting a scheduled time, the WMC shell will be restarted to clear any performance sucking errors. The automatic optimization will not restart the shell if you are using WMC to view, listen to, or record content.
Sometimes you just need some peace and quiet to get your tasks done. You can quickly send all calls to your Google number to voicemail so you can get back to them later when you are ready to get back to it.
The UAC was a pain in Windows Vista, and changing the settings for UAC was an even bigger pain. Windows 7 allows you to change the User Account Control settings from the Control Panel so you can easily adjust the settings to your liking.
I use Virtual PC quite a bit for checking out various operating systems. sometimes I have files on a virtual OS that I need to use on my real system. This usually means that I have to fire up Virtual PC and run the desired operating system. Windows 7 allows you to attach VHD files so that you can access the disks from your virtual OS without having to run Virtual PC.
In previous versions of Windows (XP and Vista), you could ran an application as administrator by using the context menu. You had no such option if you were wanting to run the application as a different user. Windows 7 adds this ability, allowing you to use the context menu to run a program as the administrator or as another user.
Windows Explorer normally opens all folders within a single process. While you could change this via the Folder Options, it would cause all folders to open in new processes. Windows 7 allows you to easily select a single folder and run it in a different process.
Libraries act as pointers to various folders containing similar content such as music, video, photos, etc. You can easily add or remove libraries from your Navigation pane to suit your needs
By default, Windows 7 comes with six Libraries (Communications, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures and Videos). You can create other Libraries if these don’t meet all of your needs for media like e-books, comics, tutorials, etc.
If you deleted any of the default libraries, you can recreate them one at a time, but there’s a much easier way to get back the default libraries that come with Windows 7.
Unlike the Windows of old, Windows 7 uses an icon-only Taskbar. If you find this difficult to use, you can return the buttons back to the way they used to be so that the button displays a label for the open file or application.
Beta 1 for Windows 7 places a Send Feedback link in the toolbar of each window that is opened. If you find yourself accidentally clicking this link often, or if you just want it removed, follow these steps.
