Windows
7 has been out for ages now — its successor is but a few months away. With a
big portion of the world’s population running this operating system, its nooks
and crannies are well explored. Well, almost!
Here are
more than forty not so obvious features and shortcuts to make your life that
much more easier! In the interest of keeping this fairly lightweight, I haven’t
included your run of the mill registry hacks and such. Look for a nerdier
roundup very soon! Now off we go!
1. Launch Taskbar Apps in a Cinch
You
probably have all your favorite apps pinned to your taskbar. Launching each
requires you moving your mouse all the way down and clicking. Boring!
An easier
is to press the Windows key and the position of the app in the taskbar. For
example, in the example below, I have Explorer in the first position. Pressing Win+1
will open it up right away. Oddly, using the numpad for this doesn’t seem to be
working.
I wish I
could multitask better

2. Search Within Documents
By
default, Windows doesn’t search the contents of files that aren’t indexed. If
you’re in a hurry and need everything searched, prefix your search keywords
with content: and Windows will look for every instance of the word.
