Getting Started with Windows 7

by Joseph Moran

Welcome to the new world of Windows 7. Whether this is your first time with Windows, you're switching from another operating system, or you're upgrading from Windows XP or Vista, you'll find a wealth of new ideas and innovations in Windows 7. The mission with this release was to make everyday tasks faster and easier, and in Getting StartED with Windows 7 we'll highlight those features to make your time in Windows more productive and more pleasurable. Inside, we examine the improved Windows interface, beginning with the new taskbar and Start menu for launching and organizing your applications, and the new ways you can organize and arrange your open application windows to help you work more efficiently. We'll walk through how best to organize your files and folders, and how to quickly make your way around your computer. We'll show you how you can set up User Accounts so you can keep your private information secure or restrict what other users can access, and we'll show you how you can change the look and feel of Windows so that each user can have the experience that suits them best.
