Now as Microsoft's latest generation of operating systems, Win7 incorporates many good changes. Many notebooks are equipped with Win7, its gorgeous interface and super system stability, so that everyone who used it is full of praise. Of course, in addition to these well-known highlights, it also designed some "small modules" for mobile users, many modules will not appear in the desktop. However, if you are a notebook user, you must pay attention to it. Some settings are professional for notebooks. Win7 settings can help you get more done with people!
1. Familiar with Win7 Mobile Center
For our regular notebooks For the user, computer knowledge is limited. Some applications are often used, such as adjusting the brightness of the display, changing the wireless network connection, switching the power status, connecting an external display, and so on. Since these functions are distributed in all corners of the system, it is not very convenient to operate.
In fact, in Win7, Microsoft has prepared a Windows Mobile Center for us, which is 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, notebooks are dedicated!
2. Let Win7 energy-saving downloads
Although today's broadband is much faster than before, but compared to the huge HD movies and large programs, it is still stretched, so many netizens I like to set up the download tool before the work or before going to sleep, 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 Win7's "departure mode" to make the computer save energy and not delay the download task.
By default, leave mode is automatically hidden in Vista or Win7, 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 notebook Win7 will change to sleep after this time "never"; never set the value very much Large), the wireless adapter settings are changed to "High Performance".
3. Let the taskbar slim down
The notebook screen is limited, naturally it can't be like a desktop computer. Win7 sets the door and the huge taskbar becomes the most optimized place on the screen. As we all know, due to the addition of some new features, the Win7 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 Win7, 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 Win7 shut down without shutting down
Unlike desktop computers, notebooks have a reversible LCD screen, and this screen is often covered for convenience. 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, Win7 provides us with a wealth of operating options, under its power & rarr; & ldquo; power options & rdquo; panel, there is a menu "select the lid off function" (left column). 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. You can see that there are a total of “do not take any action”, “sleep”, “sleep”, “down” and “four” buttons, as long as you modify it according to your actual situation. Ok! Your computer won't shut down now.
5. Let the touchpad no longer compete with the mouse
Compared with the desktop, the touchpad is probably only accessible to the notebook user. Because of its location 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 system will automatically disable the touchpad, and the touchpad will continue to take effect when the external mouse is pulled out, so that the annoying touchpad and the mouse can easily solve problems. Get it, how? Is it very simple?
