WANNA BECAME A EXCELLENT IN WINDOWS7

                   

However windows8  operating system is released with new computers,most of the users ask ideas to work in windows7 efficiently...because uhttp://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/sound-library/index.htmntil now they didnt use the windows7 completely..so the ideas are following to bacame a excellent in windows7.....

1.Wats the status of system?

       if we wanna know about our computer and os are in which status,go to search line box then type perform/report and press enter...after  doing this all detail about our computer  such as working performance,usability performance will be provided.if any problem occurs the solution also provided.these information are stored in a computer as report.you can send this report to any computer expert and getting your solution.


2.To Remove Unwanted things?

       some builtin application programs also released with windows7.the problem what it is,while the system begin starts these application programs also will started due to manufacturer settings.for instance internet explorer8,media player,media centre,dvd maket..like this many unwanted applications are not usable to us.then why we wastaging the system memory for these application programs.the facility to do this is available in windows7.


 

       in control panel go to programs and features.click windows features on or off.many application programs are listed in this group.you can enabling the application which you think important,by clicking the checkbox on.


3.New version wordpad

      we mostly use ms-word to working in text.we didnt open the builtin notepad and wordpad.so microsoft didnt provide any advanced feature in this.but wordpad builted in windows7 has many advanced features.we can store the text document in any format by using this wordpad.earlierly we can store the text document in .trf format.but nw we can store the text document in office open xml document(.docx) by using windows7 wordpad.so we can open the text file which one is created in ms-word,wil be opened in wordpad easily.

4.Help Tips

      any program using in computer the associate help tips will be provided by pressing f1 key.we can get these help tips by pressing help tab also.this feature is in complely different in windows7.in windows7 three part will be shown..

      *search box

      *directlink to microsoft website

      *window right top corner and button

or in homepage left down side , click more support options and getting more info.in this microsoft hide a part "AND a person for help".to get remote assistance,microsoft help forums,computer manufacturer homepage click in "AND a person for help".by these getting more  usable info.


 5.Arrange icons

       in computer screen many file and folder in inorder.this will show the screen complexity.to arrange icon in windows7 two ways are available.one pressing and holding f5,the icons will be arranged automatically or as usual right click the window and click view,auto arrange icons.


6.Password protection
      A special program released with windows7 called "credential manager".it is in inside of controlpanel.in search panel you type credential you can directly go to this.using this we can directly store our username and password for particular site,these information are stored in windows vault.



7.Troubleshooting the system
    we are being happy until windows run successfully.if any fault occurs in windows immediately contacting many people and asking the solution.at that time they said about "startup repair cd".most of the people dont have the idea about this cd.the main advantage  is ,it automatically preparing the startup cd.if any problem occur while system booting ...at that time this sartup repair cd is most useful.to prepare this cd goto start menu>all programs>maintanence>create a system repair disc.thus windows7 automatically create startup repair disc.



8.How is the problem & where is the problem
    sometimes,some part of the system wont work.at the time we havent any idea about this problem.but windows 7 providing a way to know about this problem.at the time go to control panel and find system and security.below that click find and fix or in searchbox type troubleshooting then press enter.maximum general problems are solved by system cleaning.once problem occurs type  troubleshooting history in searchbox ,to know already this problem is happend or not.



9.to open the folder automatically
        in   task bar right click on windows  explorer icon,and right click on windows explorer and go to properties.in target field you will see this  "%windir%\explorer.exe".after this leave one space and type the path of the directory,which you want to be opened automatically.then click apply and save.now your specified folder will be opened automatically when you click windows explorer.
 

wanna know how to backup your file secretly and safely?

Sometime the important data stored in our computer maybe damaged,delted or crashed.hereafter you dont worry about that.

Yes.beacause a new handheld device introduced to store our data in unique place rather than our computer...that equipment is called "TRANSPORTER".

backup is a wanted technology in computer field.many times our data maybe deleted due to some factors.for instance...
  
   1.we maybe deleted our important file sometimes as wrongly...

   2.other user delete the our file with or without our knowledge while using our computer

  
like the above reasons, due to some other factors our data sometimes maybe deleted...in that situation we may recover the file,if we already take a backup.this backup work will be done by a part of harddisk in our computer otherwise using cloud computing we spend some amount to maintain our backup file in hightechnology computer.


there maybe a chance the  backup file stored in our computer or other computer,which one is connected to our computer, maybe deleted crashed .ther might be a risk to backup a file from harddisk while harddisk is crashed...cloud technology is not suitable for ordinary people..because it requires some money...


other than this way  a new one is invented to bacup a file...this is done by a new technology equipment called transporter...without wire the data will be stored in this equipment..it is a handheld device...this equipment was invented and manufactured by transporter company...this equipment have a capacity to store maximum "2terabyte" data..

we can use it from a long distance..we give it to a genuine person and access the data anywhere in the world from your computer..the file will be backup to this device by wireless internet connection automatically.

Advantage:
                          the main advantage of this equipment is,you only can see ur data..if  other wanna know they see your data as symbols...if you want to allow your member in your group to see your data make horized user.then they will  access your data with your permission..the unauthorized user cant theft and access your data....

hereafter you dont worry about your backup file..is it?

wanna see and access your friend or lover omputer?

Do you wanna see and access your friend or lover  with their permission....you can do this easily...you wanna know the way for that?they way for that is in followimg steps...

step1:
           First download and install the  google chrome browser in the two computers,that mean which two systems you want to access....

step2:
           Go to http://bit.1y/S7SYCU and download  "remote desktop plug".this plug is 21mb in its size.so it takes some time to download.

step3:
        after download and install this  "remote desktop plug",click share button.

step4:
           at the time oftenly one secret code will be provided to you..tell your friend to enter the code and click "access" button.

 step5:
           in your computer below the "access" button paste that secret code and allow your friend to see and access your computer..

you know about paper pen drive?

did u get shocked after seeing this news?yes really this invention is accomplished in america.
nowadays all technolgy youngsters using cell phones long time.they like cell phones.next to cell phones they 
mostly like pendrive or usb flash drive.

this is because it is is used to store data from various sources.for exampleif they want to download some information from internet like movie,songs,data download it to pendrive.beacuse pendrive  is easily portable...and also pendrive is used in many places to carry out data to anywhere.already  pendrive is reduced  in its size and weight for our comfortability....but now it is highly developedfor next generation....that one is called   "weightless pendrive".

 now technology is improved to use a normal paper as pendrive without electronic work.this technology was invented  by a company called intellipaper . this company done this acheivement.


How it is possible?

        they take a ordinary paper and put  silicon layer on that...then use that paper as pendrive...the main reason is after putting silicon layer on the paper the paper will allow to store electronic atoms.thus this technology will be done.

now the question raise in your mind ,the paper pendrive will be damaged easily?this is lightly true...but not hundred percentage...howevr we can store  large data based on paper quality,and use it again as safely....

intellipaper company have a confident,the paper pendrive will do a large acheivement in scientific technology...hereafter the all electronic equipments maybe be manufactured by a paper technology...

the founder company of paper pendrive announced ,...this paper pendrive will be launched in the center of  2013.so we will use use this paper pendrive in our hand shortly...
