1, let Windows7 energy-saving downloads
Although today's broadband is much faster than before, but compared to the huge HD movies and large programs are still stretched, so many netizens like to work Set the download tool before or before going to sleep, and let the computer continue to download. Although the computer is only performing download tasks at the moment, it actually consumes less energy than normal. In fact, we may wish to use the Windows 7 Ultimate version of the "leave mode", so that the computer saves energy and does not delay the download task.
By default, leave mode is automatically hidden in Vista or Windows 7, we need to activate it manually. The method is very simple, press the shortcut key Win+R to bring up the running dialog box, then enter “Regedit” to open the registry editor, find and expand [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM /CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/Power], and under it Create a DWORD 32-bit entry named "AwayModeEnabled", and finally set the value to 1 and restart. After this setting, you will find that when we press the sleep button again, the power light will be on (the non-away mode power light is blinking), but the download task has not stopped at this moment, but the computer has turned low. Power consumption is running.
Note: When using the leave mode, it is recommended to set the hard disk in the power management to "Never stop", the laptop Windows7 will change to sleep after this time, "never" (nearly the value is set very Large), the wireless adapter settings are changed to "High Performance".
2, familiar with the use of Windows7 mobile center
For our ordinary notebook users, computer knowledge is limited, some applications are often used, such as adjusting the display brightness, changing the wireless network connection, switching power status, connection External display and more. Since these functions are distributed in all corners of the system, it is not very convenient to operate.
In fact, in Windows 7, Microsoft has prepared a Windows Mobile Center for us to summarize these functions into one panel. Simply press the shortcut key Win+X to bring up this panel. You can see that there are quite a lot of collections here, including "display brightness", "volume control", "power plan", "wireless network control", "external display", “ Sync Center & rdquo;, & ldquo; demo settings & rdquo; seven modules, and all can be adjusted in the same panel. How? It's very powerful, notebook special 哟!
3, let the taskbar slimming
notebook screen is limited, naturally can not be like a desktop computer, Windows7 set the door, then the huge taskbar becomes the most on the screen A place for optimization. As we all know, due to the addition of some new features, the Windows 7 taskbar is bigger and thicker than before. In addition to being able to use the right-click menu to set it to auto-hide, we can also use our brains on the icon display.
In the taskbar property panel of Windows7, there is a “Taskbar button” option. When you click it, you will see “Always merge and hide labels”, ““ merge when the taskbar is full” ”, & ldquo; never merge & rdquo; three sets of menus. Among them, "never merge" is the most familiar to everyone, Vista and early Windows use this default display mode. Generally used in notebooks, we can modify this here to "always merge" or "merge" when the taskbar is full, so when there are too many programs open on the taskbar, the system will automatically The taskbar label is reduced to a button, which saves a lot of screen space.
4, let the touchpad no longer compete with the mouse
Compared with the desktop, the touchpad is probably only accessible to the notebook user, because its position is close to the keyboard, the input often misses the mouse shift In fact, this problem can be solved by adjusting the registry key.
First open the Registry Editor, find and expand the [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSynapticsSynTPEnh] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESynapticsSynTPEnh] two branches, and create two DWORD32-bit items in the "DisableIntPDFeature", and then set the value to 3 to restart the computer. After this setting, you will find that when the external mouse is connected, the win7 system will automatically disable the touchpad, and the touchpad will continue to take effect when the external mouse is pulled out. This is an annoying problem with the mouse and the mouse. It's easy to get it.
5, let Windows7 close the cover does not shut down
Unlike the desktop, the notebook has a reversible LCD screen, and for the convenience of carrying, this screen is often covered. However, a small problem has arisen. After the screen is closed, many computer systems will automatically shut down, and sometimes it is not very convenient.
In fact, Windows7 provides us with a wealth of operating options. Under its power →<;power options" panel, there is a menu that selects the Close Cap Function (left sidebar). After clicking, you can select the sleep operation when the cover is closed (actually the LCD screen) when using the battery or when using an external power supply. It can be seen that there are a total of "do not take any action", "sleep", "sleep", "down", four sets of buttons, as long as you modify it according to your actual situation.
