So you’re looking to get Windows 7… but you are unsure about all the features and buildup that it’s had. Luckily, there are a bunch of amazing features which makes Windows 7 extremely fun and usable:

1. Hidden Themes In Windows 7 Itself!

Windows 7 Themes and wallpapers are amazing as compared to Windows vista. Microsoft windows 7 has default 5 theme but Windows 7 beta 1 build 7000 onwards has several hidden & locked themes provided for regional countries such as Australia, Canada, Great Britain, United States and South Africa.

Since these hidden themes are installed along with your Windows 7 installation you can unlock/unhide these hidden Windows 7 Themes for regional contries. Below are three deferent methods to get Windows 7 hidden themes.

2. Burn Disc Images

Windows 7 finally introduces a feature that other operating systems have had for years – the ability to burn ISO images to CDs or DVDs. And it couldn’t be much easier to use. Just double-click the ISO image, choose the drive with the blank disc, click Burn and watch as your disc is created.

3. Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts

• Win+Up: Maximize
• Win+Down: Restore / Minimize
• Win+Left: Snap to left
• Win+Right: Snap to right
• Win+Shift+Left: Jump to left monitor
• Win+Shift+Right: Jump to right monitor

• Win+P: External display options (mirror, extend desktop, etc)
• Win+X: Mobility Center (same as Vista, but still handy!)

4. Calculate Your Mortgage!

Wordpad and Paint aren’t the only upgraded programs in Windows 7. The reliable Calculator applet has been beefed up to do more than just basic arithmetic. In Vista, the Calculator had Standard and Scientific modes. Now, you can toggle between Standard, Scientific, Programmer, and even Statistics modes.

5. Change The Taskbar To Feature Full Program Names!

Let’s start with the bad news: Windows 7 eliminates the option to use the classic grey Windows 2000-style Taskbar. You’re also committed to the modern version of the Start Menu. But the good news is that you can still tweak the Taskbar to make it run like it did in Windows Vista – replacing the program icons with full names of each open app.

Right-click the Taskbar and hit properties. Check the “use small icons” box and select “combine when Taskbar is full” from the dropdown menu under Taskbar buttons. You still get the peekview thumbnail feature of the Taskbar, and inactive program remain as single icons, but opened programs will display their full names. Combine this with the old-school Quick Launch toolbar to complete the Vista illusion.

6. Aero Shake!

Just Click the title and Move your Mouse Like a Shake.  all the other windows will be minimized automatically.

7. “Play To”

Once Media Streaming is enabled on your Windows 7 PC, the “Play To” feature lets you to send media to other Windows 7 PCs or devices in your network and play it using a remote control window. From Libraries within Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer, you can right-click on your media and send it off to another device. For example, you can send video clips to a television, or music to another laptop that’s connected to speakers.

8. Aero Snap

Maneuvering between windows is a pain, and comparing the content of two windows side by side requires awkward resizing that never quite works. Aero Snap is a feature that allows users to snap any two windows side by side. You grab a window and move your mouse to the edge of the screen and the window will fill half the screen. Repeat with the other window and they are locked next to each other.

9. Jump Lists

Jump Lists provide users with quick access to a mini-Start menu containing lists of pictures, music, word documents or links that they use most frequently. There are two manifestations of the jump list in Windows 7: As part of the Start Menu (pictured here), and as a popup menu from an application’s taskbar button. For example, if you right-click on the Microsoft Word button in the taskbar a list of recently accessed documents would pop up.

10. Libraries

Instead of having all files and folders organized under the familiar Documents folder, Windows 7 features separate Libraries for specific content types such as contacts, documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos. Each Library is stylized to fit its content and can be shared with other people in your home network by using HomeGroup.

11. Taskbar Peak

This feature applies the Aero Peek technology to taskbar thumbnails. If you mouse over an application button in the Windows 7 taskbar, thumbnails of open windows associated with that program pop up. If you then mouse over one of the thumbnails, the full corresponding window on the desktop (be it a Word doc, a browser, an IM session) will come to the forefront and all other windows will turn to glass and become transparent.

12. System Repair Disc Creator

System Repair Disc is an invaluable tool that can be a lifesaver in case your system fails to boot into Windows. Using this tool, you can create a System Repair Disc that can be used to revive your computer. To open this tool, click Start and type System Repair in the Search Box. Click on ‘Create A System Repair Disc’, which will open the dialog box where you can select the burner installed in your system and click Create disc. To revive your system in the failed state, you need to put this disc into the drive and boot it from this disc. You will get a list of system recovery options, which include: Startup repair, System restore, System image recovery, Windows memory diagnostic and Command prompt.

13. Backup Utility

While a backup tool was present in Windows Vista, an improved version with more flexible options has been incorporated into Windows 7. This tool lets you backup your files to a local hard drive, a removable disk, an optical drive, or to another computer on a network. You can then choose to backup libraries or individual folders or even exclude certain folders as you may deem necessary.

14. Speed Up Boot Time

One of the Windows 7 perks everyone is looking forward to is a faster startup time so you can get to work right away after hitting that Power button. Windows 7 beats out both Vista and Windows XP in the startup time department. The best way to speed up your pre-Windows 7 startup is to upgrade your rig to faster hardware, but failing that, there are several things you can do to Windows XP and Vista to make them reach a working desktop faster.

15. Improved Wifi

One of the most useful Windows 7 features for roaming laptop users is its one-click Wi-Fi network choice. While there isn’t an exact match for that for XP and Vista, NetSetMan offers a more powerful way to manager multiple network profiles.
