Favorite Windows 7 Interface Changes for Netbooks

windows-7-aero-snap-to-edge-effect

Window maximize-

just dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it. Dragging it back down restores it to its previous size. This is incredibly useful on the netbook.

Show desktop-

 hover the cursor over the far right of the taskbar and all windows disappear until you move the cursor away. This is an easy way to hide the windows and get at the desktop to check something.

Aero peek-

hover over an icon in the taskbar and see a thumbnail of the program’s window. This is even more useful if you have multiple instances of something running, the “peek” shows thumbnails of all instances. These thumbnails are live, you can even close them from the thumbnail.

 Window shake-

when you have multiple windows open at once and need to bring your attention to one of them, “grab” that window’s title bar and shake side-to-side. All other windows will disappear to the taskbar and your window will have your undivided attention. Shake it again when you want all the other windows to come back.

Dock to left or right side of screen-

if you need to move a window to the left or right side of the screen and resize it to half the total screen width, just drag it to the appropriate side of the screen. You can do the same thing with the Windows key + left/ right arrow key.

Make the taskbar smaller-

go to the taskbar properties (by right-clicking it) and select “small icons”. The whole taskbar shrinks to fit the smaller icons.

Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software

antivirus

Running two antivirus products on the same computer can cause system instability and degraded performance. It is important that any previously installed antivirus software is uninstalled from your system before installing your ESET security product.

For your convenience, as typical uninstallation using the Windows removal tool (Add/Remove Programs) is often insufficient,  removal tools* for common antivirus programs can be downloaded by following the links below.

  1. Click the link associated with the antivirus software currently installed on your system and follow the prompts or instructions on the website.
     
  2. After uninstallation is complete, you will need to restart your computer. You may then proceed with installing your ESET security product.

Clear the Auto-Complete Email Address Cache in Outlook.com

outlook

Outlook 2003 has an automatic completion for any email address that you try to type into the To or CC fields. This feature does not pull from the contacts or address book, because you may have tried to email somebody that wasn’t in your contact list, and it will still add that to the auto complete list.

The problem comes in when you put in a bad address, and then every time you go to type in the email address, the incorrect one appears in the auto complete list.

To fix this problem, there are two ways around this. The easiest way is this:

  • Start typing in the address that shows up incorrectly.
  • Hit the Down arrow key to select the auto completed address.
  • Hit the Delete key to delete the auto complete address

The other way is by opening the profile folder and deleting the .nk2 file.

  • Open up windows explorer, and paste the following into the address bar: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook
  • Delete the Outlook.NK2 file that you find in this folder.

Upgrade of Windows 7 Beta to RC and RTM

windows_upgrade

If you are running Windows 7 Beta and you try to upgrade to Windows 7 RC straight from the installation media, you’ll get an error telling you that this is not possible. Similarly, if you are trying to upgrade from Windows 7 Beta or RC to Windows 7 RTM, you’ll get a similar message.

The upgrade is possible. You just have to do a bit of mucking around. To perform the upgrade, do the following:

  1. Copy the contents of the ISO or DVD to a separate storage location (such as a bootable USB storage device, a separate partition or whatever)
  2. Open the file \sources\cversion.ini in a text editor and modify the MinClient number to a number lower than the version Windows 7 that you want to upgrade from – so for the beta you would set this to something like 6900.
  3. Save the file and then run the install routine from the location with the modified file
