Optimize Windows 7

Hidden Send To Menu

Personally we love, right-click because it's such a good way to get more opportunities faster. For example. Send To option when you click a folder in Windows Explorer can save you a lot of time

By default, Windows 7 Send To menu contains only a few places and not give you much choice:

That does not look too impressive. But fortunately there is a trick to that - press Shift before right-click and Send to menu will grow:

Now that looks a lot better, do not you think?

Switching between Windows Faster

Minimize - Maximize window animation was first introduced in Windows Vista and found its way into Windows 7 Although it does look cool, but also creates a delay, and makes your PC slower. Disabling this effect is really easy. This will speed up your computer and make it more responsive.

Go to Start, typing in System Properties Performance and press Enter

Go to the Visual Effects tab

Uncheck animate windows when minimizing and maximizing

Click OK

Enjoy a faster, more responsive PC.

Use Problems Step Recorder

Have you ever struggled when trying to describe a problem for a computer technician? We bet you have - of course some problems are almost impossible to describe with words.

Windows 7 offers a simple solution - a tool called Problem Steps Recorder. Basically, it seems like every screenshot software and also records everything you do with your mouse, etc. So now you can use it to monitor the system and create a report. Then you can send the report to your computer technician or another user.

To test the tool, simply write psr.exe in the Start menu and press Enter.
