This user must see Win7 notebook settings secret

  
        As the latest generation of Microsoft's operating system, Win7 incorporates many good changes. Especially 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, and some can make you do more with less!

1. 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.



Win7 actually provided us with a wealth of operational options, under its power → "Power Options" panel, there will be a "choose to close the lid features" menu (the 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 four sets of buttons: "Do not take any action", "Sleep", "Hibernate", "Shutdown", as long as you modify it according to your actual situation. All right! Your computer won't shut down now.

2. Convenient Win7 Mobile Center

For the average notebook user, some applications are often used, such as adjusting the brightness of the display, changing the wireless network connection, switching the power status, Connect an external monitor and more. 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 a 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 seven modules: "display brightness", "volume control", "power plan", "wireless network control", "external display", "sync center", "demo setting". And all can be adjusted in the same panel. how about it? Very powerful, notebook dedicated!

3. Let the taskbar slim down

The notebook screen is limited, naturally it can't be like a desktop computer, so 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 Win7's taskbar property panel, there is a "Taskbar Button" option. When you click it, you will see "Always merge, hide labels", "When Three groups of menus are merged when the taskbar is full, and never merged. 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 to "always merge" or "merge when the taskbar is full", so when the number of programs open on the taskbar is too much, the system will automatically label each taskbar Zooming out to a button saves a lot of screen space.

4. Let Win7 saving download

Although today's broadband much faster than before, but compared to the huge high-definition movies as well as in terms of large programs or stretched, so many users are like before work Or set up a download tool 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 "away mode" to allow the computer to save energy without delaying 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 create it under it. A DWord32 bit item 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", after which time the sleep will be changed to "never" (the value is set too large), wireless The adapter settings were changed to "High Performance".

5. Let the touchpad no longer compete with the mouse

Compared with the desktop, the touchpad is probably only accessible to notebook users. Because it is located close to the keyboard, it is often entered when input. Mis-crashing causes the mouse to shift. In fact, this problem can be solved by adjusting the registry key.

First open the Registry Editor, find and expand the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Synaptics\\SynTPEnh] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Synaptics\\SynTPEnh] two branches, and create two "DisableIntPDFeature" in it DWord32 bit item, 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 not it simple.
