If you’re running a number of files
from the same program, such as multiple documents in Microsoft Word,
Windows 7 allows you to switch through these windows with ease.
Simply press down on the Ctrl key while clicking the icon from the taskbar.
Each click will change the window to the next in the sequence, in the order that
you opened them.
Windows 7 simplifies document and program
management by allowing you to “dock” a window or manipulate its size with
one mouse maneuver or a simple keystroke. To dock your window on one half
of the screen, drag it to the left or right and it will change its size to fit that half
of the screen. To manipulate the vertical size of a window, drag the window to the
top to maximize it, or double-click the window’s top or bottom border to maximize
it vertically while keeping the same width.
You can also perform all of these functions with keystrokes:
+Left Arrow and +Right Arrow dock to half the screen
+Up Arrow and + Down Arrow maximize and minimize
+Shift+Up Arrow and +Shift+Down Arrow maximize

Plugging in a projector and projecting your display
is a snap with the Windows 7 driver display utility, displayswitch.exe. Simply hit
+P to display the following easy-to-navigate pop-up window:
By hitting your arrow keys (or +P) you can switch through multiple display
settings, such as “clone”, “extend” or “external only.”
Windows 7 makes using
multiple monitors as convenient as it should be. When you’re working
in multi-monitors, use the keyboard shortcuts +Shift+Left Arrow and
+Shift+Right Arrow to toggle between monitors. The new window
will keep its relative position to the top-left origin of the original.

A lesser-known versatile tool introduced with
Windows 7 is the Windows® Aero® feature, “Aero Peek”. Just click the
rectangle in the lower right hand corner of the task bar for quick access to
your desktop. The keyboard shortcut +Space performs the same function.
We live with enough clutter in our lives. Windows 7 gets rid
of all the superfluous windows behind your active window. Just hit +Home to
minimize all inactive windows. To restore the windows when you’d like them, just
press +Home again.

Solving problems unique to a machine can be
an arduous task for both the end-user and the help desk. That’s why Windows 7
introduces the Problem Steps Recorder, a screen-capture tool that allows the
end-user to record the problems they’re having step-by-step. It’s as simple as
hitting “record” then adding in comments as needed. A HTML-based file is
converted to a .ZIP folder, which is easily passed on to the help desk.
The program is accessible from the Control Panel under “Record steps to
reproduce a problem” or run psr.exe from Explorer.
