The Windows 7 interface has many new changes. For example, there are some new combination shortcuts in the Windows 7RC version. Using these shortcut combinations can make the operation of WIndows7 more convenient and faster. We have compiled some shortcut shortcuts and setup tips for the convenience of the Windows 7 interface, hoping to bring some help.

Note: Due to the fact that Windows 7 has not yet been released, these tips may change in the official version.

First, use the shortcut keys to manage and operate Windows 7 window

Win + up and down direction keys: adjust the size of the program window

The size of the program window is often encountered Operation, especially between the default window and maximization. Before Windows 7, you can only do this by clicking the Maximize/Restore button in the upper right corner or double-clicking on the title bar. Now when you want to maximize the current window, you can also use the keyboard combination of Win+ up arrow to achieve this; The Win + down arrow will revert to the original window. In particular, you can minimize it by pressing the Win+Down arrow under the original window.

For maximizing, restoring, etc. In addition to the above shortcuts and the previous mouse mode, there is also an operation mode, you can hover the mouse on the window title bar and click and drag to the top edge of the screen, the window will Will automatically maximize; the same, dragging away from the top will restore the original window. This method is more suitable for use in touch screen devices. As a new system that supports touch devices, such operations will appear in more places, as mentioned later.

Win + Shift + Up and Down Arrow Keys: Maximizing Window Height

Large-screen, high-resolution display devices are very much needed for people engaged in design and art, but for For ordinary people's daily use, too large a screen is sometimes a drag. A lot of software doesn't need a lot of display area, especially the width, so more often you just want to make the window height longer, and the width doesn't need to be increased, such as browsing the web. Microsoft has clearly considered this, so in Windows7 there is a highly maximized operation, you can maximize the current window height by Win+ Shift + up key combination, and the width is the same; the same as before, Win + Shift + direction The original location can be restored.

How do you operate with the mouse? When you mouse over the top edge of the window and turn it into a double arrow pattern, you can maximize the height by pulling the mouse to the top of the desktop. Stopping at the lower edge of the window and pulling down to the bottom has the same effect.

Win + left and right arrow keys: two windows side by side

With the popularity of widescreen displays above 19 inches, two or more windows side by side in one screen have good practical significance. However, it is inconvenient to manually resize and position each time. The emergence of Windows7 has improved this problem to a certain extent. If you only need two windows side by side, you can do it with a combination of keys. Win+ left the current window to the left with the centerline of the screen as the reference, and maximizes (Win + restores the original position to the right); Win + to the right is displayed to the right (Win+ to the left). With this set of shortcuts, you can easily display any two windows side by side. This feature is useful for friends who write often, you can use half of the information to display the information and the other half to place the editing software.

Win + Shift + Left and Right Arrow Keys: Dual Display Drag Window

This is a shortcut key designed for computers connected to multiple display devices. Previously moving the program to another display required dragging, and now using these two sets of shortcuts makes it easy to send the current window to the left or right display.

Win + Home key: only keep the current program window, minimize other windows

The function of this combination key is to keep only the current program window, while minimizing other windows, press again All windows can be restored. There is another cool way to do this.

Shift + Right click: Call JumpList

Right click on the Windows 7 taskbar icon, you will see the new JumpList, but maybe some friends will miss the original maximization/minimization/Close the options, try to hold down Shift and right click, and the familiar menu comes out again.

Ctrl + Shift + Double-click: Run as administrator

From Vista, you will often use the right-click menu "Run as administrator" in daily operations, always use the right button Sometimes it's not so easy. Now, hold down Ctrl+Shift and start the program to run "administrator" directly.

Win + Space (space): Make all windows transparent, leaving only the border

Transparently all windows, leaving only the border, the effect is the same as the mouse hovering on the "Show Desktop" button same.

Win + T: Change the first icon of the taskbar to focus

Change the first icon of the taskbar to focus, press continuously to cycle through all the icons in the taskbar, whether or not Running.

This function is available in XP, it has been removed in Vista, now it is back again In the system. Hold down Shift and right click on the program you want to run, and you will see the option "Run as another user". Maybe you will ask, since you have to run as an administrator, what else do you want? Imagine this situation, there are many people using a computer, you need to do something temporarily and the current login user has limited permissions, management You don't know the account password, but you have your own login account and have sufficient permissions. This option can save you the trouble of re-logging the current user, such as some computers in the company.

Hold down Shift and click on the program icon to open the second program window. In addition, you can achieve the same effect by directly clicking the middle mouse button.

Mouse gestures

Mouse gestures in Windows7 are more prepared to support touch-type devices, because the operation of the right-click of the touch device is not possible at present. . So similar to right-clicking the taskbar icon to open the JumpList operation, switching to a touch device will definitely make the user crazy. But please rest assured, Microsoft has not forgotten this important operation, if you use the touch device or the right mouse button does not worry, there is another convenient way to do it, that is, with the mouse gesture: move to the target program icon, click Left click and slide up slightly (if your taskbar likes to be on the top of the screen, then the corresponding track is swipe down) to make the mouse escape the icon range, then you will see JumpList follow your mouse on the screen On, the period is accompanied by a gradient effect.

Second, Windows 7 interface setting operation skills

Remove the automatic adjustment volume

When Windows7 detects that the computer is conducting a telephone call and other communication activities, it will automatically lower the other volume. If you don't like this, you can turn it off. Right click on the speaker icon in the notification area of ​​the taskbar, select Sound, then go to the Communication tab and change the option to "Do nothing" to close it.

Open the CMD command window in the current path

This is not a new trick, but for those who rarely use the CMD window, you may not know this feature. In fact, it is also Shift+. One of the additional options for the right mouse button, but only for folders or hard disk partitions. This can be done in the blank of the folder window or on a selected folder.

Minimize Windows Live Messenger to the system notification area

When using WLM under Windows 7, you will find that the WLM icon will always exist in the taskbar, if you want it to stay on the right side as before For the notification area, just run in Windows Vista compatibility mode. This way, when the WLM main window is minimized, it will not appear in the lower taskbar, saving you an icon position.

In fact, after testing, other popular programs that support minimizing to the tray area under XP/Vista can use this method to minimize it and not appear in the taskbar.

Allow multiple Explorer processes

I don't know if you have encountered Explorer (Resource Manager) crash in daily operations. Because Explorer usually runs as a single process, it can be irritating in the event of a crash, including desktops and the like. An improved method is provided in Windows 7, allowing multiple Explorer processes. After you open the explorer, hold down Shift, then right click on any partition or folder and select "Open in new process". At this point in the task manager, you will find that two Explorer processes are running, so that even if one of them crashes for some reason, the impact on the entire system is small.

Retrieving the Quick Launch Bar

Friends who come from XP and Vista all the way, must be very valued for the Quick Launch Bar, as the focus of the application startup files and folders, it helps us Save a lot of time. After entering Windows 7, with the appearance of the super taskbar, the previous quick launch bar was removed, which made friends who used to use the quick launch bar feel very uncomfortable. Although the new super taskbar also has the ability to quickly launch the bar, some people still want to retrieve this quick launch bar.

OK, no problem, we can let the quick launch bar return by other means. Right-click on the blank space of the taskbar, select "Toolbar" - "New Toolbar", and then enter the following path in the box below: %UserProfile%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\InternetExplorer\\QuickLaunch

First remove the locked taskbar, then right click on QuickLaunch. , remove the checkmark in front of "Show Text" and "Show Title", and finally drag it to the far left of the taskbar. Ok, the previous quick launch bar is back.

I suggest you try to use the locker function of the super taskbar. After locking your favorite programs to the taskbar, you don't need to start from other places unless you have a lot of them. Something to put in the quick launch bar.

Let the Explorer open the computer by default, not the library folder

Click the Explorer icon on the taskbar, Windows7 opens the library folder by default instead of the previous "computer (I Computer)", this must be very inconvenient for many people, although you can fix the "computer" to the Resource Manager's JumpList list, but it always makes people feel awkward.

Want to restore the original way? In fact, it is very simple, you only need to modify the shortcut pointed to by the resource manager to achieve the purpose.
