30 Windows 7 Secrets Revealed
The Bumper List of Windows 7 Secrets is a list of 30 things in Windows 7 discovered by Tim Sneath that were little tweaks or enhancements, but too small to be marketed or documented as an actual new “feature” of Windows 7. Most of these are not easy to find at all so it is definitely work taking a look at.
Windows 7 Center will be taking an in-depth look at some of these features in the near future. In the meantime, make sure to subscribe to our RSS feed and check out our forums.
Here are a few of my personal favorites:
10. Who Stole My Browser? If you feel like Internet Explorer is taking a long time to load your page, it’s worth taking a look at the add-ons you have installed. One of the more helpful little additions in Internet Explorer 8 is instrumentation for add-on initialization, allowing you to quickly see whether you’re sitting around waiting for plug-ins to load. Just click Tools / Manage Add-ons, and then scroll right in the list view to see the load time. On my machine, I noticed that the Research add-on that Office 2007 installs was a particular culprit, and since I never use it, it was simple to disable it from the same dialog box.
21. Walking Through the Taskbar. Another “secret” Windows shortcut: press Win+T to move the focus to the taskbar. Once you’re there, you can use the arrow keys to select a particular window or group and then hit Enter to launch or activate it. As ever, you can cancel out of this mode by hitting the Esc key. I don’t know for sure, but I presume this shortcut was introduced for those with accessibility needs. However, it’s equally valuable to power users – another good reason for all developers to care about ensuring their code is accessible.
