Some Windows 7 Tips and Tricks

1. Rapid Window
    

2. Aero Peak!  Take a sneak peek at your desktop

A sneak peak is easy: 

• Hover your cursor over the small rectangle in the bottom right hand corner of your screen (your windows will become transparent) or

   

• Click it to minimise all of your open windows

   

• Click on it again to bring your windows back

   

 

3. See all your open windows

When you have lots of windows open, Windows 7 makes it simpler to find the one you want.  You can see all the windows from your task bar and switch through them with ease.
 

To view and switch windows:

• Hover the cursor over the at programs icon to see all of the open windows then
   

• Hover the cursor over the previews to see the full screen

• Click on the preview to swtich to the window you want to see

4. Snap - compare two windows side by side.

Snap helps you quickly resize windows for better viewing and easily compare two documents side by side.

Here's how it works

• Drag the window to either side of your screen.  When the mouse pointer hits the side of the screen, the window will snap to the half of your screen.
   

• Drag either the top or bottom border to the edge of your screen.  When the mouse pointer hits the edge the window will snap to maximise vertically while keeping the same width.

5. Snip

Click on the snipping tool when you want to take a snap shot of the screen or data - it will automatically put it into a file that can be saved as a picture or emailed.
