All the other windows will now be minimized and only your preferred window will be shown. Windows Peek is another feature that lets you have a peek over your desktop and all the gadgets that are displayed. To use this feature, simply hover your mouse cursor over to the bottom right corner of your computer and you will have a preview of the desktop already. You can also minimize all the open windows on your computer by clicking on it.
This feature is also pretty handy for most users, this feature enables users to see a preview of the windows and even check the ongoing process of the programs or any files that are being copied. To use this feature hover your mouse over the window you want to see the preview of on the taskbar and a small panel will appear above your cursor showing you the actual preview of that windows you can see the full preview of the same windows or even bring it to the top by hovering over to the panel or clicking on it to bring it to the top.
With HomeGroup you can easily share files, music, videos and even devices like printers, scanner or any externally connected devices, etc on a connected LAN or Local Area Network.
You can now watch movies on your Windows 7 using windows media center. Windows media center is now unavailable on the newer versions of windows like Windows 8, 8. Another feature that was introduced with Windows 7 is the windows touch. The feature allows users to use their fingers to navigate or perform different tasks on their operating systems.
Although users need to have a touch-sensitive monitor to be using this feature. Domain Join is a feature introduced with Windows 7 that allows users to join their work network remotely. Users will need their work credentials to remotely join the network. To use this feature go to your computer properties and click change under computer name, domain and workgroup settings.
Although you will have to be an administrator to use this feature. With Windows 7 professional you can now back up all your files, folder or even a complete drive on an external hard drive or over the network.
Users can also set a scheduled backup to have windows automatically backup all the necessary files. The location-aware printing feature is for the users having portable devices like laptops or netbooks.
With this feature, Windows will keep track of all the network users have been using and that which printers are available on the network that can be used. The EFS enables users to prevent unauthorized user access or programs to the encrypted file or folder. From the Control Panel, you can change the theme under Appearance and Personalization.
Microsoft has created several theme packages to give people a taste for what the feature can do. Click on one to download it, and it instantly changes the color scheme and background--no need to reboot.
Users can create their own themes, as well. Windows Media Player and Device Stage One of the biggest new features makes Windows Media Player useful again: you can now stream media files from one Windows 7 computer to another, across the Internet and out of network.
Even better, the setup procedure is dead simple. When you open Windows Media Player, there's a new Stream option on the toolbar. Click it, and you're presented with two choices. Both require you to associate your computer with your free Windows Live ID. When you've associated a second Windows 7's WMP with that same ID, you can remotely access the media on the host computer.
Windows Media Player's mini mode looks much slicker, emphasizing the album art--sometimes at the expense of clearly seeing the controls, but it's a definite improvement. The new Device Stage makes managing peripherals significantly easier, combining printers, phones, and portable media players into one window. A large photo of the peripheral summarizes important device stats and makes it easy to identify which devices you're using.
Device Stage can also be used to preset common tasks, such as synchronization. Device Stage support for older devices makes one of Windows 7's best features applicable to peripherals and externals that don't need to be upgraded. One annoying change is that Bluetooth driver support no longer comes baked into the operating system.
If you need a Bluetooth driver, you'll either need the installation disc on hand or you'll have to go download it. Search, touch screens, and XP mode Windows 7's native search feature has been improved. Files added to the hard drive were indexed so fast that they were searchable less than 5 seconds later.
Search result snippets now include a longer snippet, and highlight the snippet more clearly. This should appeal specifically to people who juggle large numbers of long documents, but it's a useful feature for anybody who wants to find files faster.
However, the search field is available by default only in the Start menu and in Windows Explorer, and cannot be easily added to the taskbar. Touch-screen features worked surprisingly well. The hardware sometimes misread some of the multitouch gestures, occasionally confusing rotating an image, for example, with zooming in or out of the image.
Overall, though, there were few difficulties in performing the basic series of gestures that Microsoft promotes, and this places Windows 7 in an excellent position for the future, as more and more computers are released with multitouch abilities.
Experts and people or companies who hope to use Windows 7 for business situations will appreciate the new XP Mode. It doesn't have much of a practical application for the home consumer, but if you need to access programs designed for Windows XP that have not been upgraded to Windows Vista or 7, XP Mode creates a virtual environment within Windows 7 that should assuage any fears of upgrading without backward compatibility.
It's not easy to set up once you've downloaded the XP Mode installer. You'll need to double-check that you have the right hardware, and can get the right software. Motherboards older than two years probably won't work, and even if you do have a newer one you might have to go into your BIOS and activate Hardware Virtualization. CPU-identification utilities are available from Microsoft that can tell you if you're in the clear or not. However, if compatibility is the issue, this hassle will be worth it to you.
Users will have full access to peripherals connected to their Windows 7 hardware, including printers, and the clipboard can be used to cut and paste between the virtual operating system and the 'real' one.
Microsoft has tweaked the feature so that it's less intrusive, but it's not clear whether that means you're actually more or less secure than you were in Vista.
UAC was one of the biggest changes in Vista. It tightened program access, but did it in such a way as to frustrate many owners of single-user computers. Windows 7 provides more options for user customization of UAC. The default setting is to notify users only when programs try to make changes to the computer, one step below the most restrictive setting of Always Notify. Under Always Notify, anytime a program tries to access the Internet, or you try to make changes to the computer, Windows 7 will require user confirmation.
