Windows 7 has added many practical functions. Although some functions are small and not very eye-catching, the small details hide big secrets. Below we will explain the big secrets in the small details of the new functions of Windows 7 system one by one. secret.
1. Multi-touch
The multi-touch function of Windows 7 can be said to be in line with public sentiment. Due to the widespread promotion of touch-screen mobile phones in the past two years, computer products have also begun to be eager to try it. Windows 7 provides software space for touch-screen technology to make it possible.
Different from ordinary touch screens, Windows 7 introduces a new multi-touch concept, that is, multi-touch operations on one screen. Because it is multi-touch, the machine can sense the speed and intensity of finger sliding (the intensity is realized by converting the number of touch points), making the operating system more user-friendly.
With Windows 7 and a touch-sensitive screen, you can flip through online newspapers, flip through photo albums, and drag files and folders on your computer with just your fingers. The "Start" menu and taskbar in the system use icons that are enlarged and easy to touch with fingers. Commonly used Windows 7 programs also support touch operations, and you can even use your fingers to draw pictures in "Paint". I believe that with the maturity and improvement of technology and hardware equipment, scenes in science fiction movies will no longer be far away. Isn’t it very enjoyable? However, currently Windows touch functionality is only available in the Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate versions of Windows 7.
2. Jump menu
Jump Lists is a new feature in Microsoft Windows 7 that makes it easier for users to find related applications they want to execute.
Generally speaking, the jump menu is placed in the start menu. When the user right-clicks the icon in the taskbar, the jump menu function can be realized. The jump menu function provides users with a quick way to open programs, which can be achieved by right-clicking or directly dragging the icon in the taskbar to the jump menu.
By default, the jump menu will contain application shortcuts, which can switch windows, close one or all windows, and directly enter related tasks of a specific application. Once the user starts using the application, the jump menu will list a list of recently used files or applications.
By default, jump menus are available in applications such as IE, Windows Media Player, and drawing tools.
3. Window side-by-side and Aero Shake
Since Windows 95, the way computer windows are opened, moved, arranged, and closed has hardly changed. Now that we are in the widescreen era, the need to display two windows side by side is very urgent but difficult to achieve.
Windows 7 is much more considerate. Just like dealing with the "annoying" QQ window, press and hold the window title bar and drag it to the edge of the screen, and the window will automatically occupy half of the screen. Do the same on the other side, and the windows will be "arranged" on the screen. "Sitting in rows", users will not be overwhelmed by too many windows and clutter.
In addition to easily arranging windows neatly, Windows 7 also provides a user-friendly Aero Shake. The specific meaning is that when many windows are opened for work, in order to prevent other windows from interfering with the work at hand, you can choose to minimize all windows to Display the desktop and then restore the working window individually.
In Windows 7, Aero Shake can easily achieve the functions mentioned above. As long as you drag the title bar of a window with the mouse and shake it arbitrarily, all other windows will automatically minimize. When you shake this window again, the other windows will return to their original appearance. Isn’t it fun and convenient?
4. Problem step recorder
Users will always encounter some difficult problems when using computers. It is a wiser choice to call customer service when they cannot solve it themselves. Many non-professional users often cannot explain the steps before a computer problem occurs, which is very critical to solving the problem.
A small tool in Windows 7 solves this problem very well, which is the Problem Step Recorder. When a reproducible problem occurs on a computer, the user can simply run the recorder to record the steps taken. Click Start Recording and reproduce the issue, enter notes in the appropriate places, click Stop Recording, and then email or share the recording with an IT professional.
Although this function is not very eye-catching, it can sometimes play a life-saving role for many computer laymen. The key point is that it can solve the problem of language barriers and make cross-border "help" a reality.
