What should I do if win7 window flickers and shakes? 200 points reward!

30 tips for Win7, reposted, I hope it will be helpful to friends who install win7

1. Window management

You have probably seen the Windows 7 usage Window management has become much easier: you only need to drag the window to the edge of the screen to "dock" it to the left or right half of the screen; similarly, you can maximize the window by dragging it to the top of the screen, double-click on / The lower border keeps the width of the window constant and maximizes the height. What you may not know is that all of these actions have shortcut keys:

Win left arrow and Win right arrow on the left/right dock;

Win up arrow and Win down arrow to maximize and restore/minimize;

Win Shift Up Arrow and Win Shift Down Arrow window height maximizes and restores.

The left/right dock feature is particularly useful on wide screens

2. Projection display

Feeded of struggling with weird OEM graphics card driver tools on your laptop just to connect a projection, right? You'll be happy to know that projecting is quick and easy in Windows 7: just hit Win P and you'll be happy to see this pop-up:

Use the arrows (or keep hitting Win P) to toggle" "Do not project", "Mirror screen", "Extended screen" or "Turn off internal screen" settings. You can also use the command line displayswitch.exe

3. Peace of mind

Want to put aside distractions and concentrate on working on a document in a window? Pressing the Win Home key minimizes all other windows, leaving the current window in the same position. Hit Win Home again to restore all windows to their original state.

4. Multi-monitor window management

The earlier tip showed how to dock windows on one monitor. A more elegant shortcut is to use Win Shift Left Arrow and Win Shift Right Arrow to move a window to another monitor while maintaining its relative position to the upper left corner of the monitor.

5. For command line addicts

The most popular Windows XP power toys is "Open Command PromptHere", which allows you to use the GUI to browse the file system and then use the right-click menu Open a command line in the current directory. In Windows 7 (by the way, it also exists in Vista, but not many people know about it), you can Shift right-click to achieve this effect. If the current directory is a network location, a drive letter is automatically mapped.

6. We live in a global village

If you try to change the wallpaper, you will probably notice that there is a set of wallpapers corresponding to the region you selected when installing Windows (if you selected the United States, you will See the beautiful scenery of Crater Lake in Oregon, the Arches National Park, a beach in Hawaii and other places), in fact, depending on the language you choose when installing, several sets of wallpaper plans will be installed, but other wallpapers are in a hidden directory . If you feel the call of the exotic, just go to C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT and you will see a bunch of wallpapers in the Wallpaper directory under each country. Double-click the theme file in the Theme folder to rotate and display all the wallpapers of that country (currently the wallpapers of some countries are just samples).

7. Black box

Every developer hopes to have a way for end users to simply and crudely write down the steps to reproduce the problem on the user's specific machine.

Windows7 is available! Our built-in testing tool for sending back product feedback, Problem Steps Recorder, provides a simple screen recording tool to record a series of actions. Once you click "Record", she will record your mouse and keyboard actions and screenshots, and note down user-entered annotations. Once it ends recording, it saves everything into a zip file, which contains an "animation" of user actions in html format. This is such a useful little tool that we should have on every computer. The file name of this tool is psr.exe, and you can also find it in the "Record steps to reproduce a problem" category in the Control Panel.

8. Fonts

Some people will be happy that we have killed the Add Fonts dialog box that has served Windows faithfully for 20 years. (Of course it has been neglected for a long time. The easiest way to install fonts is to drag and drop the fonts into the Fonts folder in the Control Panel). But now it's even easier to install fonts - we've made an "Install" button in the font previewer:

Moreover, Windows 7 has a lot of new features built in to satisfy those with font obsessive-compulsive disorder: Grouping by weight, hiding fonts based on locale options, a new text rendering engine in the DirectWrite API, support for more weights than the 4 "standard" weights in the Universal Font dialog. For example:

9. Gabriola

In addition to the above font features, Windows 7 includes Gabriola, a refined font from Tiro Typeworks. It utilizes OpenType layouts to provide varied format sets, decorations, and gorgeous hyphens:

10. Who tampered with my browser?

If you feel that Internet Explorer takes a long time to open a page, you should check what plug-ins you have installed. A useful improvement in Internet Explorer 8 is the plug-in initialization measurement, which allows you to quickly see if you are stuck at a certain plug-in loading step. Click Tools/ManageAdd-ons, then scroll to the far right in the list to see the load times. On my machine, I noticed a problem with the Research plug-in installed by Office 2007. Since I never used it, I disabled it in the same dialog box.

11. Move furniture

Unless you have seen the demo, you may not know that the icon positions in the new taskbar are not fixed. Whether it's a shortcut hanging on the taskbar or a running application, you can reorder it according to your needs. Even better, once the numbers are in order, you can hit Win 1, Win 2, Win 3, etc. to launch new instances of the top 5 icons. For example, I like to slam Win 5 on my machine to open a new Notepad2.

What fewer people know is that you can also drag the icons in the system prompt bar to rearrange them, or move them into and out of the hidden icon area. This makes it easy to customize your system to display only what you want where you want it.

12. Install from USB disk

My wife has a Samsung NC10 netbook (which is pretty good), and we want to install Windows 7Beta on this machine to replace the pre-installed XP. Like most netbooks, it doesn't have a built-in optical drive, and I didn't have a bootable USB DVD drive. The solution is: I found a 4GB U disk, formatted it as FAT32, and directly copied the contents of the Windows 7 Beta ISO image using xcopy e:\f:\ /e /f (e: is a DVD disk, f: is U disk). Not only is it easy to install from a USB flash drive, it's also incredibly fast: faster than the DVD installation I did on my desktop computer.

It's worth pointing out that Windows 7 is better suited for netbooks than any previous version of Windows: it has a much smaller memory and disk footprint than Vista, and is optimized for SSDs (e.g., because random and sequential access are just as fast, it Does not defragment the disk, and it uses a different method of deleting files to reduce SSD wear).

13. Give me back the quick launch bar!

You may have noticed that the Quick Launch Bar is not only disabled by default in Windows 7, it is not even in the toolbar list. Obviously, the concept of hanging a set of shortcut icons has been directly integrated into the new taskbar. Based on early user interface testing, we feel that most users (unlike you who come to read my blog) will like the new mode, but if you really like the old behavior, you will also be happy to know about the old behavior. The shortcut is still there. To re-enable:

Right-click the taskbar and select Toolbars / New Toolbar

In the folder selection dialog box, enter the following path and press Enter:

userprofile\ AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Close "lock the taskbar", then right-click the separator bar, turn off "Show text" and "Show title", and set the display to "small icons".

Drag the separator bar to arrange the position, and then lock the taskbar again.

If the above step-by-step seems a bit confusing, that's because we don't actually want you to use it again. But if you must use it for some reason, it's still there. Also, we hope you'll try the new mode first and tell us why you find the new taskbar difficult to use.

14. Drag

The Jump Lists feature allows applications such as Windows Live Messenger to provide task-based entry. Jumplist replaces the default right-click menu in the new taskbar. Another way to access it (especially if you are running Winodws7 on a MacBook without right-clicking) is to click and "swipe" up. This was originally designed for touchscreen devices like the gorgeous HP TouchSmart all-in-one PC.

Another place where you can "swipe" (not an official Microsoft term) is in the IE8 address bar. Swipe down to open and expand the browser history, favorites, and similar items. The slower you paddle, the more obvious the animation effect will be.

15. Standards support

Every Windows 7 review I read mentioned that WordPad and Paint use an Office-like ribbon to display functionality. However, there is one small but well-intentioned feature that few people have mentioned: WordPad can now read and write the Office Open XML file format compatible with Word 2007, and also supports the ODF format promoted by IBM and Sun:

16. Windows Vista style taskbar

I wasn't particularly fond of the new taskbar in earlier versions of Windows 7, but as its design improved in the near beta, I've come to prefer the new look, especially when I When opening a large number of windows. The good news for those who like the nostalgia of Windows Vista is that it's easy to customize a Vista-like look.

Right-click the taskbar and select Properties, select "small icons", and in the "taskbar buttons" setting, select "combine when taskbar is full". This isn't precise per pixel, but functionally it's very similar.

17. A glance at the desktop

There are some details worthy of attention on the taskbar.

You may have seen the little rectangle in the lower right corner: this is a feature we call "Aero Peek", which allows you to see icons and gadgets on your desktop. I'd say there's a shortcut for this, too: Hit Win Space.

18. Increase running permissions

Want to quickly start an application on the taskbar as an administrator? It's simple - hold Ctrl Shift while clicking on the icon, and you can immediately launch it as an administrator (assuming that your account has sufficient permissions, of course)

19. Please do the same again

I see some people don't know how to use this. If you already have an application open on the desktop (for example, a command line window) and then you want to open a second instance of the same application, you don't have to go back to the Start menu. As long as you hold down Shift and click on the taskbar icon, it will open a new instance instead of switching windows. The keyboard shortcut is: middle-click (naturally, this trick assumes your application supports multiple instances).

20. Exclusive window switching

Another feature that advanced users may like is to use an "Alt Tab"-like method to switch between multiple windows of the same application. For example, if you have five Outlook message windows open and ten other windows, you can hold down Ctrl and click on the taskbar Outlook icon to quickly switch between Outlook windows. This will switch sequentially among the five Outlook windows, which is much faster than opening Alt Tab and struggling to identify the small thumbnails to find the message window you want.

21. Taskbar traversal

Another "secret" Windows shortcut key: Win T moves focus to the taskbar. You can then use the arrow keys to select a specific window or group and press Enter to launch or activate it. You can also press Esc to cancel.

22. Widescreen Tips

Whether it is a laptop or a monitor, almost every monitor sold today is widescreen. This may be fine for watching DVDs, but sometimes you feel like there's not enough vertical space when you want to work.

As a result, the first thing I do when setting up a new machine is put the taskbar upright on the left side of the screen. I can understand why we don't do this by default - you can imagine corporate IT departments being furious and having to retrain everyone - but you as a heavy user shouldn't be tied down by the default settings from the 800x600 resolution era.

In the past, Windows had insufficient support for "vertical people" like myself. You can put the taskbar up, but it looks like an afterthought—the gradient color scheme is wrong, the Start menu is weird, and you feel like a second-class citizen. The Windows 7 taskbar seems to be designed for vertical use by default - the icons work very well on the vertical side of the screen, and the shortcut keys, like the Win T just mentioned, automatically switch from using the left and right arrows to the up and down arrows. etc. The overall effect is that you get a more proportional workspace.

Give it a try - especially if you have a netbook with a 1024x600 display, you'll immediately appreciate the extra viewing area. You will feel a little uncomfortable on the first day, but I promise Chairman Mao that you will soon like it enthusiastically.

23. Pin your frequently used folders

If you always work on four or five fixed folders, you can pin them directly to the taskbar. Right-click the folder and drag it to the taskbar, and it will automatically be pinned to Explorer's Jump List.

24. Start Explorer from "My Computer"

If you work more often with files outside of the "Documents" folder, you may want to change the default startup of Windows Explorer folder so that it opens "My Computer" when it starts:

Find Windows Explorer (in the attachment) in the start menu, modify the properties, and change the Target to:

SystemRoot \explorer.exe /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

If you want the change to affect the icon on the taskbar, you need to unpin it on the taskbar first. Pin it again and the new shortcut will take effect. It's worth pointing out that the Win E shortcut still displays the default Docment Library view: I haven't found a way to change this so far.

25. ClearType text fine-tuning and display color calibration

If you want to adjust your monitor for image and text display, we have built-in tools. The results are amazing: After slightly darkening the text color and slightly adjusting the gamma, my laptop monitor looks much crisper. You adjust the brightness and contrast on your new 42-inch HDTV, why not do the same on the computer screen you face all day long?

Open cttune.exe and dccw.exe respectively, or you can run it from the control panel.

26. Burn ISO

It’s easy to miss it if you don’t look for it: you can double-click the .ISO image file of any DVD or CD and you will see a pink The little program lets you burn it into a blank disk. No more tossing around for freeware tools of dubious origin!

27. Windows Movie Maker

Windows 7 does not include a movie editing tool. - It moved to the Windows Live Essentials suite along with PhotoGaller, Mail and Messenger. Unfortunately, Windows Live MovieMaker is currently in early beta and is still missing most of its original feature set (we're rewriting the app), so you may feel somewhat lacking in options. Needless to say we will have a better solution when Windows 7 is released, but right now the best solution for early adopters is to use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 (feature-wise identical to the recent version on Windows XP). It lacks some special effects and transitions than the Vista version, and does not support editing HD, but it is still sufficient for general editing of home movies.

Download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 from here:

28. Hide Windows Live Messenger icon

I hope the first thing you do after installing Windows 7 is to download and install the Windows LiveEssentials package (if not, you will miss a large part of the Windows experience) if you are a heavy IM user , you may like the way Windows Live Messenger occupies the taskbar, and you can easily change status and send messages:

On the other hand, you may want to put Windows Live Messenger on the system icon bar like before, then You can trick it into doing the previous behavior.

Close Windows Live Messenger, edit the shortcut's properties, and set it to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode. Done!

29. That fish

I’m surprised not many people understand the joke behind the Siamese fighting fish on the default wallpaper, so I’ll continue to keep it a secret Don't tell. You can find some clues on wikipedia.

30. When all else fails

There will always be times when your character is just too bad - you can't boot into the system, and then what you really need is to have This thing can be immediately launched to the command line for you to start messing around. Windows 7 can now create a system repair disk, which is a Winodws that can be booted from a CD, including a command line and a set of system tools. You can find this tool by typing "system repairdisc" in the Start menu search box.
