I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface yet. What are some cool features on Windows 7 that I haven't found yet? Anything goes... tools, customization, multimedia, you name it....
Cool things to do with Windows 7?

Where can I find it? Searched for it but nothing came up.
Anyone else know of any other cool features on Windows 7 I should check out?

I converted my version back to look like Windows XP, about 3 minutes after getting Windows 7.
So much worthless crap on the new Windows versions.
XP FTW

I think you already know this but anyway here it goes Flag and Tab key will have some cool effect. First press flag and then tab.

No I didn't know that actually. That's awesome.
Please people don't be shy. I'm pretty naive about Windows 7 so any feature you deem basic I'm probably unaware of. Please do share any feature regardless of whether you think its bare bones or not.

God Mode is a useful tool. Not really "cool", but easy to use.

god mode is when you create a new folder on your desktop and rename it to this
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
1) The Snipping Tool is handy for screen shots

2) Got something annoying in your system tray on Windows 7 (and maybe vista) that keeps popping up dialogue boxes? There's a little cute wrench icon on there that you can click to set notification settings to make it go away forever!
3) Need to know what specs/OS your Windows PC is? Windows+Pause/Break

First thing to do when you get windows 7 is to run off your visual themes. They are pretty but when you run it looking like windows 98... well now your taking your computing power up a notch!
There are all kinds of services you can turn off, startup, UAC, shut off everything your not going to use.
If you cant bring yourself to make it look like windows 98 then... do a google search and shut off all the other useless shit.
My system will reboot in about 4 seconds with my OS on a solid state drive and everything non critical shut off. No Joke! 4 seconds lol
