A few days into really using Windows 7 I’d say it’s not as bad as most people say, though it will take a little getting used to. So as questions come up in Windows 7, I’ll be adding links to useful tips. Feel free to submit your own or ask your own question.
A I was wandering through my file folders today in Windows Vista (64-bit) it occured to me that my menu bar was gone (I’ve had this OS for well over a year, which tells you how often I use that feature). My first thought was maybe they added the options to the right click context menu. Not the case. So I did some digging and the secrect is simple…Hit your ALT key and it magically appears. Now you’re ready to customize folders or map network connections. I think everything else can be done via the other menu options that are displayed.
Earlier this morning a friend of mine was on CNBC for a few seconds talking about a problem he (and apparently about 30% of owners) has had with his X-Box X-Sux 360. (Yet another reason I don’t plan on buying one…what kind of “quality assessment” thinks 70% is acceptable?)
Anyway, to my point…
I think CNBC should be considered “Short Attention Span Theater”…I’m about to puke from information overload after watching all of those tickers go by AND the additional news alerts. No wonder people “need” 65″+ televisions, as this is way too much to take on my “little” OR “big” TV. And no wonder so many people are diagnosed* as having ADD or AD/HD.
Man am I glad that the kid programs grace my television during the day when it happens to be on. And luckily the radio hasn’t gone to multi-tasking (yet).
* I’ll leave that rant for another time.
