Welcome to the Windows 7 forum!

Deja vu

Thanks!

Ta-Da! 

Excellent  and most useful addition!

That's it? 

Guess everything is working with Win 7 then. 

cool

Excellent

Thanks a bunch, Frogboy.

Let the Win 7 discussions, tips and tweaks begin.

w00t!  

You do know that Microsoft Works is an oxymoron, right?

.oO(I wonder if this works faster than the Vista forum)

Is there a Logon Studio that works with windows 7?

Yes, LogonStudio Vista works wonderfully with Windows 7!

Thanks for that, I was looking for that category the other day before I posted a question on compatibility.

I'm looking for more "tricks".

eg. If you have multiple windows open, you can grab the application title bar with your mouse and shake it.  All the other windows minimize.  Shake it again and the other windows return.

Drag a window to the top of the screen, the window maximizes.

That kind of stuff.

Anyone have any "tricks"

Happy Holidays

cool.....thanks

Fast access to Win7 resources via the keyboard

Some of Win7's best timesavers are staring you right in the face on your keyboard, particularly via the previously underutilized Windows key. You probably already know that pressing the Windows key (Win) opens the Start menu. But now, holding the Win key in combination with other keys does a lot more.

Win7's Windows-key combinations speed up opening system tools, navigating between files and apps, and performing other common tasks. (Note that many of these shortcuts work in XP and Vista as well.)

• Win+Pause: Displays the System Control Panel applet.
  
• Win+D: Shows the desktop.
  
• Win+Spacebar: Shows the desktop without minimizing open windows (Aero Peek).
  
• Win+E: Opens Windows Explorer with Computer selected.
  
• Win+F: Opens a Search window for finding files or folders.
  
• Win+Ctrl+F: Opens a Search window for finding computers on a network.
  
• Win+G: Cycles through Gadgets (if any are installed).
  
• Win+L: Locks your computer or switches users.
  
• Win+M: Minimizes all windows.
  
• Win+Shift+M: Restores minimized windows.
  
• Win+P: Chooses a presentation display mode.
  
• Win+R: Opens the Run dialog box.
  
• Win+T: Cycles through and previews programs on the taskbar.
  
• Win+U: Opens the Ease of Access Center (Utility Manager in XP).
  
• Win+X: Opens the Windows Mobility Center (which isn't installed by default on desktop PCs).
  
• Win+(numbers 1 to 5): Starts the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number. If the program is already running, it switches to that program.
  
• Win+Shift+(numbers 1 to 5): Starts a new instance of the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number.
  
• Win+Ctrl+(numbers 1 to 5): Switches to the last active window of the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number.
  
• Win+Alt+(numbers 1 to 5): Opens the Jump List of recently accessed items for the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number.
  
• Win+Tab: Cycles through open programs by using Aero Flip 3-D. (You must have Aero working; Win7 Home Basic and Starter don't use Aero.)
  
• Win+Ctrl+Tab and then Left or Right Arrow: Opens Aero Flip 3-D to cycle through open programs.
  
• Win+Ctrl+B: Switches to the program that displayed a message in the notification area.
  
• Ctrl+click: Pressing Ctrl while clicking a taskbar icon will scroll through multiple windows of that icon's application.
  
• Win+Up Arrow: Maximizes the window.
  
• Win+Left Arrow: Docks the active window to the left half of the screen.
  
• Win+Right Arrow: Docks the active window to the right half of the screen.
  
• Win+Down Arrow: Minimizes the window.
  
• Win+Shift+Up Arrow: Stretches the window to the top and bottom of the screen.
  
• Win+Shift+Left or Right Arrow: Moves the window from one monitor to another.
  
• Win+Home: Minimizes all but the active window.
  

Nice one RD

Hold down control key, turn mouse wheel to resize desktop icons.

A great addition to wincustomize. thank you and Merry Christmas and a vry happy and prosperous New Year.

Hmm, maybe I have the wrong application then.  I'll check it. Thanks for response

Thinking of upgrading to 7. Will have to do a reformat and fresh install. What is the difference between 32 and 64 bit?

Have been told I can only do a 32 bit install. Thanks for your help.

64 bit allows you to access more than 4gb of RAM and utilises your hardware more efficiently. 

Depends... via the upgrade path you can only go from 32 bit to 32 bit, etc.  If installing from a full retail copy however, you can go 32 or 64 bit.  If going the OEM route, please ensure you get/order the bit version you want, as it ie either one or the other... not both.

I just built a new computer...... didn't know about the 32bit vs 64bit thing. I got 4Gb of Ram, but installed Win7 32bit. now I can only access 3.2Gb of my Ram. Can I change to 64bit without undoing everything I've already done to the sytem, like installing all my Stardock apps and other programs?

I have also been told that certain CPU's don't allow the use of 64bit, I fitted an Intel Q8300 quad core chip, so, will my chip run 64bit Win7?

Thanks guys. (Once I get all this stuff sorted then maybe I can start skinning again!!!! B[]

Yes...will handle 64bit architecture....no....you'll need to reinstall everything....;)
