Wireless networks provide an inexpensive and easy way to share a single Internet connection among several computers. This means you only need one modem, and you can add additional computers to the network just by plugging in a wireless card and turning them on. The new machines are connected to the Internet immediately.

A wireless network also lets you access files and printers from anywhere in your home. It allows you to synchronize files you have on your laptop with your home computer, and you can easily send files between computers as well. Using a wireless network to transfer files is faster than sending them via e-mail or burning them to a CD! Because printers connected to one of the computers on a network are shared by all the computers on that network, you can write documents anywhere in your home, press the print button, and collect the printed files from a printer that is connected to another computer.

Burn a Disc Image from an ISO or IMG file in Windows 7
•Place a blank unformatted CD or DVD into your CD/DVD drive.
•Right click on the ISO or IMG file you want to use to burn a disc.
•Click Burn disc image.
•Next to Disc burner, click on the drop down arrow and select the CD/DVD drive with the blank disc you want to burn to.
•Check the Verify disc after burning option if you want Windows to verify the disc image after burning the disc. Leave this option unchecked if you want to skip the verification. Note that you should skip verification if you are in a hurry, as this process requires additional time.

The DVD (or CD) is now ready to be used without your ever having to find, install, and use a third-party tool.
Pin Files, Folders, and Favorites to the Taskbar in Windows 7
Applications can be pinned to the Taskbar, similar to how you could place your favorite applications on the Quick Launch toolbar.
With Windows 7 beta 1, when you drag a file onto the Taskbar, you are given the option to pin the file to its associated application. So if you drag a Word document onto the Taskbar, you get the option to “Pin to Word”.

10 Reasons to Love Windows 7
Now, I'm a guy who hates change in the desktop. I always turn on the classic view and still run Windows XP on my laptop. I don't like having to re-learn where things are and how to do common tasks.
But with Windows 7, it was love at first byte. I've been running Windows 7 since March, and I can't wait for the official release next month. Of course, there are a few drawbacks to the new operating system, and I even have my doubts about some its most touted features. So, here are my top 10 reasons why you should move to Windows 7 -- and a few notes of caution.
Shrink and Simplify OS Images with Dynamic Driver Provisioning
If they choose to install drivers dynamically, Windows 7 enumerates Plug and Play devices during installation. Then, it chooses drivers based on the Plug and Play IDs of the actual devices on the PC.
Reducing the number of drivers on individual PCs reduces the number of potential driver conflicts. This ultimately streamlines installation and setup times, as well as improves the reliability of the PC.
For more of Dynamic Driver Provisioning, check out the Deployment Image Servicing and Management screencast available on the Free Computer Guide site.
Easier Troubleshooting Support with Problem Step Recorder
The Problem Steps Recorder tool is a simple screen capture utility that grabs screenshots whenever a mouse move or click is made and documents all the data into a zipped MHTML report page that can be sent off directly to the help desk. Every step of the user’s actions is logged complete with a screenshot with the item highlighted, and it even allows the user to provide commentary on specific details.
To launch the Problem Steps Recorder, just go to START and type PSR.exe and your off and running
New User State Migration Toolkit (USMT) Features for Windows 7
Running ScanState on Offline Windows Images:
You can run the ScanState command in Microsoft Windows PE. In addition, USMT now supports migration from previous installations of Windows contained in Windows.old directories. The offline directory can be a Windows directory when you run the ScanState command in Windows PE or Windows.old when you run the ScanState command in Windows .

Encrypt Removable USB Drives with BitLocker To Go on Windows 7
The option is available by simply right-clicking on a drive in Windows Explorer to enable BitLocker protection.
With BitLocker To Go, you can encrypt removable storage devices, such USB flash drives. All you need to do is right-click on the drive you want to protect, select the “Turn on BitLocker” menu option, and follow the basic wizard.
Use Windows 7 to Manage Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers
You can easily manage your Windows 2008 R2 servers from a PC running Windows 7 beta 1. But first you’ll need to download the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 7, which you can get here.

Turn Off Security Messages and Other System Notifications in Windows 7
For starters, you can configure how notifications are handled on the Taskbar—choosing to hide certain types of notifications, such as Action Center messages, Network messages, Windows Update Automatic Updates messages, and so on.
Install Windows 7 Alongside Windows Vista for a Dual Boot System
But with Windows 7, it’s pretty easy to beta test on the machine you’ve already got. Hard drives have gotten much larger and much less expensive, and if you’re running Windows Vista, you already have built-in functionality to help you create a separate partition for testing.
