Need to set a password on the Administrator account and work out for her.

Show icon in notification area can be much easier without using the Customize button: just drag the icon from a hidden field in the notification area. To hide an icon, drag it to the hidden area.

Since Windows Vista such file is not present more, but you can change necessary for you for loading parameters using the tool the System Configuration. The window the System Configuration is launched so: Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> System Configuration (or pushing Win+R-> msconfig-> Ok)

- To receive the information on systems leaking and loaded by default;

- To select the system loaded by default;

- To delete unnecessary record from the loading menu.

- To edit time in seconds (timeout) after which the operating system selected by default will be loaded.

- To include \switch off the greeting screen (Without GUI);

- To include \switch off loading of standard drivers VGA, instead of the drivers of the screen corresponding to a video equipment of the computer (Basic video).

And through Additional parameters:

- Number of the processors used at loading.

- The maximum memory size in the mbytes, used for modeling of a configuration with small memory size.

By means of a window the System Configuration it is impossible to change (but it is possible, by means of program Bcdedit):

- Name of existing records;

- Position of record in the loading menu.

For a choice of the system loaded by default, select an operating system necessary for you and push the button «Set as default».

For removal of unnecessary record select it from the list and push button “Delete”.

For editing timeout, in the necessary field install a desirable amount of seconds.

For the application, the changes made you – reboot.

1) Open the dialogue menu to Run: Start -> Run (or Win+R)

2) Enter msconfig and push OK

3) Pass to the tab Boot

4) Select Advanced options

5) Deliver a flag opposite to value Number of processors

6) Select from the activated drop-down menu number of kernels of your processor (By default 1)

Setting of smaller value, than amount of kernels of your processor is not recommended, as the system can continue usage of the number of kernels specified by you and after loading end.

7) Push OK and reboot

In Windows 7 there was a new command prompt utility tzutil.exe, allowing changing adjustments of a temporal zone. For example, to change a temporal zone for a while across Greenwich, it is necessary to use the following command:

tzutil/s “gmt standard time”

»“ tzutil/g ”shows current setting of a time zone;

»“ tzutil/l ”deduces the list of all possible time zones;

»“ tzutil/? ”Deduces help on utility operation.

“Snipping” are a utility for removal of screenshots of the selected zone

Start => All programs => Accessories => “Snipping” => Right mouse cliques => Properties

In Properties, in the field the Fast call we try to type any key pattern. Note that we just issued its first two CTRL + Alt + choose third keys for you as you prefer. For example, Ctrl + Alt + S.

In Windows there are many additional functions and components. You can view them and you will solve for yourselves what of them to use, and what are not present. Not used components can be disconnected and, thereby a few to discharge usage of resources of the computer by system.

For review and switch-off (switching-on) of additional functions and components, do following actions:

1) Open the Control Panel

2) Open equipment of the Program and Features

3) Follow the link at the left “Turn Windows features on or off”

4) View components and remove flags from what are included, but by you are not used

If you selected the wrong program from a dialog box “Open with…” and installed parameter “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file”. And also if the program was deleted incorrectly, leaving in association system on itself with types of files supported by it. There are some methods it to correct.

Method 1: Try to associate files with the right programs using all the same dialog “Open with…”

Method 2: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Associate a file type or protocol with a program

Method 3: Search the registry branch [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]

Method 4: Use utility “Unassociate File Types” which allows both to remove association, and to delete file type from the register.

To disconnect tooltip balloons it is possible using the editor of a group policy.

1) Push Start>Search>gpedit.msc and push Ok.

2) Pass in section the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar.

3) Open parameter “Remove Balloons Tips on Start Menu items”, select point “Enabled” and push ОК

By default the button of shut-down of the computer in Windows 7 is in a state “Shut down”. If you reboot on some times in day, to you the shut-down button in a state “Restart” probably would be more convenient to switch. For this purpose fulfill following actions:

1) Click the right mouse button on menu Start and select Properties menu item.

2) Pass to the Start Menu tab.

3) Switch value “Power button action” in a state “Restart”. Also you can select functions “Lock”, “Switch user”, “Log off” and “Sleep”.

If you often work with any 4-5 folders they can be attached quickly to the explorer button on a task bar. Retaining the mouse button, drag a folder on a task bar, and it will be automatically placed in “Pinned” explorer buttons.

bcdedit – the tool, allowing to change values of loader Windows, and also to produce its (loader) recovery. To see offered by system for change parameters: launch command line on behalf of the administrator (Win+R-> cmd-> Ok), type in it bcdedit and push Enter. All commands resulted in the given variant, it will be necessary to launch in the command line launched on behalf of the administrator (Win+R-> cmd-> Ok) Also the given commands can are fulfilled in command line of the environment of recovery or in command line ERD Commander.

Some values of parameters BCD are written down in curly brackets – {}. These are identifiers – {CLSID}. Any identifier has the alphanumeric code of a type {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. Standard identifiers have titles, for example: {default}, {bootmgr}, {ntldr} and so on.

The components most interesting us are:

ID – CLSID this or that record;

device – shows section on which loading files (it are allocated there can be an operating system or folder BOOT);

osdevice – indicates the section that contains operating system files. Normally, values of parameters device and osdevice are equal;

path – if device defined disk partition which contains operating system files this parameter defines a remaining way to the operating system boot loader;

default – shows ID an operating system loaded by default if the operating system in which launched command line, boots by default, to parameter default value {current} is appropriated;

displayorder – shows the order in which records about loaded systems are allocated;

timeout – time – after which the operating system will be loaded, value is shown and installed in seconds;

locale – specifies language of the load menu or the menu of additional parameters of loading;

description – shows the title of an operating system displayed in the menu of loading.

Attention: If you performed your team is missing the “/ set” with an indication of the ID, then your changes will be added to the Windows Boot Manager, but not in Windows Boot Loader.

Before start to make changes necessary for you, create a loader backup copy. For this purpose, create on any disk a folder with title BCDREZ and execute the following command:

bcdedit/export X:\BCDREZ\bcd

Where X – a drive letter on which there is folder BCDREZ.

If you decide to return all changes made you to initial adjustments execute the following command:

bcdedit/import X:\BCDREZ\bcd

For the further examples, suppose, that our menu of loading contains three records with identifiers {ID1}, {ID2}, {ID3}.

Change of the system loaded by default

Enter parameter/default and {ID} that system which you want to load by default. For example, for system with {ID2} a command:

bcdedit/default {ID2}

The given command does not move record about the system loaded by default, on the upper line of the menu of loading.

Repositioning of records in the loading menu

1) Relocation of the selected record upwards the list:

bcdedit/displayorder {ID}/addfirst

2) Relocation of the selected record downwards the list:

bcdedit/displayorder {ID}/addlast

3) Menu formation in the selected order:

bcdedit/displayorder {ID3} {ID1} {ID2}

4) Change timeout

bcdedit/timeout XX

Where XX – time in seconds.

Change of language of the manager of loading

bcdedit/set {bootmgr} locale ln-LN

Where ln-LN – the selected designation of language. For Russian is ru-RU, for English – en-US etc.

Change of language of the menu of additional variants of loading

Because the program of recovery of the start, executable of the recovery environment, uses parameters “on-default”, the menu of additional variants of loading which appears at pushing F8 after induction on menu bar with the necessary operating system, can become English-speaking. To return language necessary for you, it is possible executing the following command:

bcdboot %Windir %/l ln-LN

Where ln-LN – the selected designation of language. For Russian is ru-RU, for English – en-US etc.

Change of a title of loaded system

After usage of the environment of recovery, in an operating system title there is an inscription – (is recovered). You also can correct value “Previous version of Windows” on more convenient to you “Windows XP” or add the version and digit capacity to leaking (used by default) Windows versions. You can change it the command specified more low:

bcdedit/set {ID} description "New title"

For example:

bcdedit/set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3"
<p>bcdedit/set {current} description "Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64"</p>


Change of a letter of section on which the folder of an operating system and its load files is allocated

bcdedit/set {ID} device partition=X:
<p>bcdedit/set {ID} osdevice partition=X:</p>


Where X – a hard drive partition letter. Normally values device and osdevice coincide.

Adding of a new operating system(Windows Vista or Windows 7) in the loader.

1) Copy existing record of current system with a new title:

bcdedit/copy {current}/d "Microsoft Windows Vista"

2) Wait the message «The entry was successfully copied to {hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh}».

3) Change values of parameters device and osdevice on corresponding to an added operating system.

bcdedit/set {hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh} device partition=X:
bcdedit/set {hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh} osdevice partition=X:


Where X – a drive letter on which there is an operating system. Instead of daggers, enter value {ID}, received after the successful termination of copying.

4) execute a command adding new record in the manager of loading:

bcdedit/displayorder {hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh}/addlast

Record will be added in the bottom of the existing list.

Removal of record of loading of system from BCD and the loading manager.

Record removal about the installed operating system from BCD and the loading manager is executed by means of a command bcdedit/delete {ID}. There is a singularity of performance of a command: if as ID known record, for example {ntldr} the command should be fulfilled with a key/f is underlined:

bcdedit/delete {ntldr}/f

If ID registers in the alphanumeric code, the key /f are not necessary.

In case of absence of one of the files necessary for operation with the loader, you can download archive Bootfiles_x86+x64.zip (contains files: Bcdboot.exe; Bcdedit.exe; Bootsect.exe from Windows 7 Ultimate x86/x64)

For the information:

Master Boot Record – MBR compatible to the operating system boot loader (ntldr – for Windows XP and bootmgr – for Windows 7/Vista);

Loading files: for Windows XP – files ntdetect.com and boot.ini, for Windows 7/Vista – Boot Configuration Data (BCD) which is allocated in latent system folder BOOT.

At some monitors screen resolution cannot correspond to any of offered Windows.

If at you the video card of NVidia you are installed can to add the resolution of the screen by one of the specified methods:

Method 1.

1) Launch a NVidia in Control Panel.

2) Open the Display-> Change resolution -> Customize…-> Create Custom Resolution…

3) Set parameters necessary to you, to test them and to add it in the list for a choice

4) Select it and to use.

Method 2.

Using the register to add the resolution necessary to you in parameter NV_Modes

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video \{some number} \0000

Also can find other branches containing parameter NV_Modes and also to add in them resolution of the screen necessary for you.

Method 3. Before driver setting.

Open a file “nv_disp.inf” in folder C:\NVIDIA\Win7\xx.xx and find value [nv_commonDisplayModes_addreg]

Under it in NV_Modes there will be all accessible resolutions of the screen, add there the.

But happens what even after specified above the manipulations, new resolution does not want to be added. In that case, for the forced adding of the user resolution you should use special programs. I recommend looking on the Internet for following programs:

PowerStrip – the Program of control in parameters of a video subsystem of your computer, is supported a huge variety of video of cards. It is actually unique program some kind of which supports video of a card from a numerous dial-up of chipsets and suppliers, simultaneously, under any operating system. The program easy sits in трее and therefrom provides access to more than 500 control items over your display hardware, including color work benches of correction, setting of level of the period of screen geometry, and drajvero-independent control items of hours.

Screen Resolution Manager – the Program allowing each user of the computer to install the resolution of the screen. Besides resolution it is possible to adjust depth of color, frequency, brightness and visibility, color gamma and other adjustments which automatically come into force after loading of a profile of the certain user.

If you have setup disk Windows 7, to create a recovery disk optionally. If the setup disk at you is not present, to create a recovery disk it is necessary – it is useful sooner or later to you. From a setup disk it is possible to boot in the environment of recovery Windows RE.

Creation of a disk of recovery of system

1) Interpose a pure compact disc into a drive

2) Open Start->Control Panel-> Backup and Restore

3) In the left panel click the link to “Create a system repair disk”

Loading from a disk of recovery of system

1) Insert a recovery disk into a drive and reboot

2) In BIOS the boot priority from a CD\DVD should be select. Loading in Windows RE will be fulfilled.

3) Select system which you want to recover.

4) Select your Window 7 installation from the list, when prompted. You will be shown the following System Recovery Options (system repair tools).

1) Run cmd.exe as administrator (Win + R-> cmd-> Ok)

2) Run the following commands, pressing Enter after each

bcdedit/set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3"<br />
bcdedit/set {current} description "Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64"


You decided to replace or sell one of your hard disks. Before it to make, be convinced that files of loading Windows 7 not to contain on deleted by you from system a hard disk.

Windows 7 stores the files for loading on the active disk which can differ from that on which it is installed Windows 7. Files of loading for Windows 7 are a file bootmgr and data store of a configuration of loading BCD (Boot Configuration Data), being in hidden and system folder Boot.

At loading Windows 7 checks observance of 3 conditions:

- Whether the disk from which loading by the active is fulfilled is;

- Whether the Master boot record (Master Boot Record – MBR) with bootmgr (the Manager of loading Windows) is compatible;

- Whether to be files of loading of an operating system on the active disk should.

In a case not observance of one of conditions, loading becomes impossible.

Let’s assume that you Windows 7 is installed on a disk With: which is not active. Active is only disk D:, which you are going to delete from system and on which there are the Files of loading Windows 7 having attributes Hidden and System.

As the decision I suggest you to fulfill transferring of files of loading Windows 7 from the active section (a deleted hard disk) on inactive section (a hard disk remaining in system, with assignment to it of attribute – Active).

1) Clearing up of attributes of disks and assignment to a hard disk of attribute remaining in system Active.

Method 1. Using equipment “Disk Management”.

1.1.1) Push Win + R, in line to “Run” type diskmgmt.msc and push OK

1.1.2) In the lower part of a window where there is a graphic representation of sections, find volume (section) on which you is installed Windows 7 Letter of volume here, is identical to a drive letter with Window 7 of Computer.

1.1.3) Under a volume letter, the size of a disk and file system attributes of a disk will be specified. Whether look has our volume attribute “Active”. If yes, you can easy delete your disk from system. If is not present, it will be necessary for you to appropriate the given attribute, according to written more low.

1.1.4) If yours Windows 7 is installed on a hard disk broken on some sections select the section of a disk remaining with you first at the left, we make it load and active. If undressed only one select him.

1.1.5) Click the right mouse button on the selected section and select from the shortcut menu point “Make Partition as Active”. Consider that this section should have attributed “Primary Partition”.

Method 2. Using command line.

1.2.1) Launch command line with the rights of the manager. Push Win + R, in line to “Run” type cmd and push OK.

1.2.2) Sequentially execute all commands without an output from command line:

DISKPART
list disk
sel disk X
list partition
sel part 1
active
exit


Where X – number of a disk which is supposed to be left, in the list of disks (a command list disk).

2) Copying of boot sector MBR and setting of its compatibility with bootmgr:

2.1) Download archive Bootfiles_x86+x64.zip (contains files: Bcdboot.exe; Bcdedit.exe; Bootsect.exe)

2.2) Create folder Boot

2.3) Unpack the downloaded archive and copy Bootsect.exe and bcdedit.exe, desired bit-version in the Boot folder you created.

2.4) Launch command line with the rights of the administrator.

X:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all/force

Where Х – a drive letter on which the program Bootsect.exe contains

- The key/force – forcedly disconnects one or several volumes during update of the load code. It is necessary, at presence in a configuration of 2 and more hard disks.

3) Transferring BCD (Boot Configuration Data) and a file bootmgr on new active section:

X:\boot\bcdboot.exe %Windir %/l ru-RU/s WITH:

where x is the drive letter that contains the Bootsect.exe

-key /l-select language setting Boot Manager. If your system is not English, use other values for this key, for example, for English-en-US, for German, de-de, etc.

-key /s-defines the letter volumes assigned to the target system partition, the files are copied to the boot environment. This is the section that we have made active. Windows 7 uses the current boot partition (in our case this section D:) to complete its work. Therefore application of this key with instructions of a letter of new load section (in our case – section C:) – it is mandatory.

In different articles you can see the different ways to the same description of Control Panel items. This occurs because in Windows, there are two types of display elements: Category (elements are grouped by topics) and Large or Small icons (items display a complete list) , the most convenient is Large or Small icons (full list).

There are several ways to access the items in the control panel:

1) Through the Start menu.

For quick access to items in the Control Panel, it is recommended that you add to Start menu popup menu contains all Control Panel items.

1.1) Right click on the Start button and click on Properties.

1.2) Then Customize…

1.3) Select Control Panel.

1.4) Set the radio button beneath the “Display as a menu” and press OK

Popup menu control panel will display the full list, regardless of your choice in the display.

2) Via Windows Explorer.

2.1) Start Windows Explorer

2.2) In the menu bar, click Tools and then Folder options

2.3) Under the navigation pane, select the check box for the value of “Show all folders” and click OK

Now the control panel will be available in the Windows Explorer Navigation pane on the left. The advantage of this method is that you can work, as directed for the full list of items: Explorer-> Control Panel-> All Control Panel items, and to individual sections: Explorer-> Control Panel-> Desired section.

If you’re working in your system tray appeared flag “Action Center”, and you want to delete, then do the following.

1) Right click on taskbar and select “Properties”.

2) Click on the “Customize”.

3) Click “Turn system icons on or off”

4) set the system icon “Action Center” in the “off” and press OK.

1) Copy the code in any text editor (for example – Notepad).
2) Push CTRL+S and save with a name mscfgtlc.xml

3) Copy a file in folder C:\Windows\system32\

4) Push the button to Save


<msconfigtools>
<tool NAME = "your program" PATH = "Disk:\Path for your program\your program.exe"
DEFAULT_OPT = "Start Options by default - if are"
ADV_OPT = "Additional options - if is"
HELP = "The program description"/>
</msconfigtools>

For example:

<msconfigtools>
<tool NAME = "Registry Workshop" PATH = "C:\Program Files\Registry Workshop\RegWorkshopX64.exe" HELP = "Registry Workshop"/>
</msconfigtools>

Or:

<msconfigtools>
<tool NAME = "to Show IP the address" PATH = "% windir %\system32\cmd.exe" DEFAULT_OPT = "/k %windir %\system32\ipconfig.exe" ADV_OPT = "/k %windir %\system32\ipconfig.exe/all" HELP = "Shows network IP the address."/>
<tool NAME = "Release IP Address" PATH = "% windir %\system32\cmd.exe" DEFAULT_OPT = "/k %windir %\system32\ipconfig.exe/release" ADV_OPT = "" HELP = "Releases a network IP address"/>
<tool NAME = "to Update IP the address" PATH = "% windir %\system32\cmd.exe" DEFAULT_OPT = "/k %windir %\system32\ipconfig.exe/renew" ADV_OPT = "" HELP = "Updates network IP the address."/>
</msconfigtools>


The program added by you appears in the tab Service (Tools). Recommend to save a file in coding UTF-8. As a way it is possible to specify only files from folders Windows or Program Files including subfolders.

Windows operating system uses the index to quickly find the most frequently used files.
By default, all indexed by the most common files on your computer.
Improve search performance in Windows 7 can read:

Add or remove locations from the index.

1) Click the Start menu, type Indexing Options in the Search bar and press Enter.
2) Click Modify.
3) Select or deselect folders under Change selected locations you want to add or remove for faster search, and then click OK.
4) If the list does not display all of the location on your computer, click Show all locations. (If the list displays all of the location on your computer, click Show all locations is not available.) If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
5) If you want to add a folder to exclude certain subfolders, click the folder, and then clear the check box next to any subdirectories you don’t want to index. These folders are displayed in the column “Exclude” in the Summary of selected locations.
To index all the files on your computer is not recommended because if you make the index too large or add to the index location of the system files (for example, the Program Files folder), the search will be slow.

Add or remove a file type from the index.

1) Click the Start menu, type Indexing Options in the Search bar and press Enter.
