Solved What are the applications that come with Windows 7

[Melita]

Recently I discovered RESMON, that comes as a standard feature in Windows 7. I didn't know about it until someone told me. There must be other applications and programmes that I don't know about. Is there a way that I can access a list of everything there is in Windows 7?

Thank you.

Hello Melita,

Going through all of the shortcuts in your Start Menu -> All Programs will let you see most of them.

Hope this helps some.

 

[Melita]

Yes, this is fine but aren't there things that are not shown in all programmes, like Windows disk image burner?

 

[Brink]

Oh yes, there's several more, but way to many to try and list (and remember ).

I can't find a full list anywhere.

Here you go to browse everything go to the left top side "A-Z list" and you can go through everything

I have tried to open Windows disk image burner. No success. Even the 'run' command draws a blank. I know it is there because it opened by itself when I was trying to burn a disk, sometime back. That was the first and the last I saw it.

are you trying to burn a image of windows?

Hi Melita

As Br!nk already mentioned, there are lots and lots of tools and features built into Windows.

If you are looking for some unknown tool to monitor, gather information, personalize etc. I'd recommend just to simply google it. (Sounds stupid but often gets you just that what you wanted)


What just came to my mind while writing this is: "Windows God Mode". Basicly a centralized view of all the administrative options that are normally seen inside your control panel.

I hope this helps you a bit.

Kind regards,

Oh no, I am trying to find it because I am puzzled why I can't find it

From your link what I assumed is, for the Disk image burner to open, a blank disk and an ISO or IMG file must be present. If such a file is not present the image burner option is not offered. That' the way it looks to me. Right clicking on any other type of file does not open that option. Am I correct?

 

[Brink]

Melita,

See if this may help with the burn files to disc. The example screenshots help show it's usage as well.

This helpful Shawn but I am OK with this. Both CD and DVD burning are enabled and I have been doing it for sometime. It is the illusive Image Burner that is annoyingly inaccessible.

Regards,

 

[Brink]

Ah, ok. If you don't have the Burn disc image option when you right click on an .iso or .img file, then download and merge the .reg file for the listed .iso or .img options in the tutorial below to restore their default associations.

This should restore the Burn disc image context menu item for those file types.

the built in windows iso burner is found here

C:\windows\system32\isoburn.exe

When you right click on an iso file it will give you the option to burn it to disk.

Or if you drop in a blank disc.

 

[Melita]

Thank you very much Shawn. You have given me a bonus here, this list of file extensions. Many a time I have struggled to open a file, not knowing what programme to open it with.

I don't have an ISO file to check this. Once I get hold of one I can see whether the disk burner option will appear and download the reg file if necessary.

Best regards,

This should keep you busy for a while.
