One of the best features of Windows 7 that most people don't realize or use is the ability to find anything on your computer with the tap of a button.
Want to find the "Windows Update" program?
Just press the Windows key (near Alt key), and start typing, "U-P-D..." it will find anything that has those letters in it, and put them in order of the most commonly used. It will search program names, emails, documents (titles of documents as well as text in them), files, media, music, image tags and keywords (if you added any)... just about everything.
Need to launch Microsoft Word, but don't want to go through your menu and program list?
Press the Window key and start typing, "W-O-R...." it will be at the top of the list. Press Enter and it quickly launches. There is no need to click through your programs list or menu.
The Windows key plus any combination of letters, will find what you need. Volume control? Network? User Manager? Msconfig? Startup? Run? Word? Excel?
Just about anything.
Start using this feature now and get more out of your computer!
