Getting to Know Windows® 7
With Windows® 7, Microsoft is launching the new operating system and successor to
Vista®.
Windows® 7 contains a number of innovative functions and technologies, enabling your
All-In-One PC to work quickly and reliably, while being easy to use.

Improved Taskbar
The Taskbar at the bottom of the screen enables you to start programs and change be-
tween programs which are already running. Using Windows® 7, you can place any pro-
gram in the Taskbar, so that it will always open with one single click. You can also arrange
the symbols on the Taskbar simply by clicking on them and dragging them to the desired
position. The symbols are also considerably bigger, so that they are easier to use. Moving
the cursor over the symbols will display miniatures of each file or each window open in the
program. Moving the cursor over the miniature displays a full-screen preview of the par-
ticular window. Moving the cursor away from the miniature closes the full-screen preview.
Jump lists
Jump lists offer a practical possibility when opening files which you have recently worked
on. To display recently used files, just right-click the application symbol on the Taskbar.
Right-clicking on the Word symbol will display recently used Word documents. You can
also easily place other files in the jump list if you would like to have them readily at hand,
in which case they will always be displayed. This allows you to access documents which
you use more frequently, with just a few mouse clicks.
The jump lists from a few programs, such as Windows® Media Player, can be filled in ad-
vance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, the Windows® Media Player
jump list might contain options to play all music or to re-open the latest play list.
The Internet Explorer jump list displays frequently and most recently visited websites. For
certain programs, this enables rapid access commands which, in the past, could only be
retrieved from the program itself, such as the command to create a new e-mail message.
