DOS power tools by Paul Somerson. Windows wasn't quite what it is today.
The help files can be a little confusing; and finding the proper help when you don't know exactly what the "Watchamacalit" is is called now, is a little daunting. Still.... I find the WEB is my best resource.
If you really want to know everything there is to know about Win 7.
There are 3 books I recommend. However, 2 I haven't received yet but should next week.
MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-680)
Windows 7 Administrator's Pocket Consultant
You can get these 2 above as a bundle for about $70 for both
Windows 7 Resource Kit
You can also try one of the for dummies books
They are pretty good with the basics
Amazon.com: win 7 for dummies: Books
Not sure if I missed this in this loooong thread, but this is my last ditch tool for getting file copying etc to happen in 7 when it's got a strop on................
Add Take Ownership Option Shortcut in Right Click Menu of Windows 7
After using Windows 7 since the first build, being a real beta tester for Windows 7 I'm a little disappointed with Microsoft as some stuff they just didn't bother changing or fixing etc.. so heres my list.
1. Icons: Icons in the system it doesn't matter where I go but I will usually find an icon that is from Windows XP or before. It really just makes the system look out dated and inconsistent. I was hoping for a completely new set of icons in Windows 7 - all the current ones scraped.
2. Search: Search is better than Vista and XP but its not really instant and I hate it how it shows system files.
3. Libraries: This is a great idea in Windows 7 but sadly the customization for it is really bad, you can't change the icons without using a 3rd party application.
4. UAC: user account control still doesn't have remember these settings.
5. Screensavers: A lot of my favourite Windows screensavers are gone
the list goes on.
