[TLM]

Anyone know how to move the 'show desktop' button on the lower right?
....

Now just gotta figure out how to place or 'pin' it in the taskbar
I'm still open to suggestions for moving the new w7 button..

Found this tut: <!-- m -->http://www.7tutorial... ... ts-taskbar<!-- m -->

I'm able to pin the mod'd shortcut on the taskbar but it doesnt actually do anything once explorer is added.
Looks like I will have to use compiled AHK shortcut 1st :roll:.. more to come..

edit:
Screw it. Just made my own

#noTrayIcon
send #d

Compile with explorer icon 3,
drag and drop onto taskbar..

Done ...

Was doing some manual print screens in Remote Desktop Connection and
by shear accident I found Fn+Alt+Pause/Brk ( laptop keyboard )
toggles maximize - restore view in Remote Desktop Connection .

I've been looking for a solution for this one for a while now
as full screen mode steals some standard keyboard shortcuts in RDC..

Still have to test it on a 'standard' keyboard ( with no Fn ).

weird..


edit:

:shock: Also I was having a problem getting the RDC to fully maximize on a multi monitor setup
( it wouldn't fully maximize on monitor 2's different dimensions ).
Using this key combo seems to fix it that issue ( vertically anyway )!

Going to try to script it next...

In explorer Ctrl+Shift+E will scroll treeview to current folder.

Very nice one.

Press Ctrl+Alt+ an arrow key

and the whole screen rotates according to the arrow pressed.
← counter clockwise horizon view ↑ normal view
→ clockwise horizon view ↓ upside down view.
:shock:

CTRL+ALT+Arrow keys are hotkeys that are added by some graphic drivers.

Yup, just figured out that its the Intel Graphics driver thats causing it ..

Still pretty cool feature..

There's TONS listed at howtogeek.com in the windows7 section.
Some that I had already known and some that I had only found there.

Go into the network and sharing center and click the link on the left that says
Change Adapter settings.

Find Local Area Connection then right click and go create shortcut.

it will place it on the desktop and if u go properties on that shortcut it just made it has a bracket id code. maybe that code could be help to make a tray icon that goes status.

If not u now have a icon.

if You are using ATI you can create hotkeys that do that.

for Nvidia and everybody else try iRotate

iRotate also makes hotkeys that work but i think they can be disabled as also no tray icons.

Shift+Win+Right will throw active window and its state on the second monitor/TV.

Sorry if this is a dead topic, but here are some neat things you can do...
click and hold the top of a window, yknow, the row that has the title and the minimize/maximize/close buttons, and there are some things you can do.
if it is not maximized, you can [still holding] spiral-move it to the top, and it will maximize.
also, whilst doing this, there is like a 'ripple' where the cursor touches the top of the screen...
[thats all about the windows actually, afaik]



if you have cmd.exe disabled for whatever reason, such as UAC restrictions, but can still access c:/windows/system32 folder, then do this to access cmd.exe
go to internet explorer [must be IE afaik], and type this into the address bar
file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
and hit enter... It WILL open up cmd.exe... if you wish to keep this 'permanent' you can set this to a shortcut on the desktop.

thats all the [new] stuff I could think of at the moment.

Been a while but I just bumped into another cool little feature called PSR ( Problem Steps Recorder )

In the Search Field or Run in the start menu type PSR.

Its an app used to send sequenced screenshots for helping users.
It saves a zip file containing a .MHT with the images embedded for use in a browser.

O.O

That shouldn't be a hidden little feature! It should be out in the open by default...silly MS hiding the really useful stuff.
