  Microsoft Windows 7 Training: New Features of Microsoft Windows 7

  This course will include lessons on the many new time-saving and productivity enhancing features of Microsoft Windows 7, including the following topics:
  Improved taskbar and full-screen previews:

  • Learn how Windows 7 can allow you to set the order of the icons in the taskbar, click once on the thumbnail (optional sizes) to open, and see full screen previews before switching windows.

  Jump Lists

  • As another enhancement to user experience, Windows 7 is focused on keeping your most used items in front of you. As you learn how to use the new Jump List feature, you can quickly reach recent files from an icon on your taskbar.

  Simplified work flow

  • Simplify how you work with the windows on your desktop. This Windows 7 training course will teach you more intuitive ways to open, close, arrange, and re-size windows.
  • Learn new, faster ways to copy files or compare contents of two windows, view your desktop with the Peek function, and minimize all windows with a click.

  Internet Explorer 8

  • Internet Explorer 8 will increase your online productivity and speed. Learn about changes to the address bar, search tabs, and favorites, as well as better security and search options.
  • Instant Search: Learn how this feature can utilize your browsing history to help narrow your search, providing immediate, relevant suggestions from your chosen search provider as you type (complete with images when available).
  • Accelerators: Learn how this dynamic feature can let you highlight a set of information on any page and choose from a variety of services relevant to the information you have selected.
  • Web Slices: Learn how this feature lets you keep up with changes on a web page without visiting it. Examples include monitoring an auction item, a sports score, the weather, or a forum. When the content you are watching changes, Internet Explorer 8 will update the information directly to your Web Slice in the favorites bar, allowing you to see it instantly.

  Windows Live

  • This course will cover the new options and services included in Windows Live Essentials. In Windows 7, some of the features traditionally embedded in the operating system are now optional and available for download through Windows Live Essentials. These free applications (including Windows Live Messenger, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, etc) are still supported by Windows 7 and continue to improve the Windows experience. Learn how to use some of the more popular applications.

  Device Management

  • While one of the strengths of the PC is the ability to utilize a wide variety of devices, traditionally these devices were managed in several different places. Learn how in Windows 7, you can now use a single screen to connect and manage all devices, including printers, phones and other external devices.
  • Through a new technology called Device Stage, Windows 7 also allows you to interact quickly with any compatible device you connect to your computer. This course will teach you how to see a picture of the device you are viewing, check the status, and run common tasks in a single window.

  HomeGroup

  • Traditionally, setting up a home network can be complicated. Windows 7 provides a fast, intuitive service, HomeGroup, to help you connect to the other computers and devices on your wireless network. Learn how this feature can help you quickly share printers, photos, music, and files within your home.

  Other Features

  • Additional new features in Windows 7 include advances in touch, speech, handwriting recognition, virtual hard disk support, better multi-core processor performance, faster boot performance, and kernel improvements. This course will cover these and other ways to enhance your Windows experience and increase your desktop productivity.
  • One of the most visible changes is the taskbar, which features a Quick Launch toolbar merged with the task buttons, providing an enhanced Superbar. Learn how this enhanced taskbar enables many of the new features like Peek and the Jump List.
  • Though Windows 7 has removed the Windows Sidebar, this course will show you how to display your Gadgets freely on the desktop.
