77 Windows 7 tips from Microsoft TechNet

Last Update: Wed, 10/07/2009 - 00:24 — rhiannon

Whether you're planning to use Windows 7 or are already using it, this is a solid collection of tips for Windows 7.

There's a wide selection of tips here for everyone, from IT folks to newer Windows users.
Windows 7 is due to be released in a few weeks, and I for one am itching to reformat my hard disk drive (like I need an excuse.......<g>).
You may or may not run into a pop up box when visiting the Microsoft Technet site asking if you would complete a survey. Some visits it shows up, other visits it doesn't. Click the X in the upper right corner to close the box without taking the survey.
Enjoy.

Oops... pretty tricky.

It's at the middle along the right to appear like this:

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
77. Ctrl+Win+Tab - Open persistent task selection window, roll mouse over each icon to preview item and minimize others

Some of them are applicable to earlier version of Windows, not necessarily specific to Win7. Hmm...

Only 63 tips at the moment, another 14 tips to be added?

This one seems a lot better than most of the current Windows 7 reviews because it has some truly useful features mentioned...most of the others seem to focus more on fluff and eye candy.
