Getting Started with the Windows 7 Desktop [70-680 GENERAL]
Late last year I had posted an article over on http://www.petri.co.il/ that reviews some subtle changes to Windows 7 Desktop that you should be aware of. While the changes from Vista to Windows 7 are subtle they are a radical departure for those users that are more familiar with Windows XP. The full article is titled Getting Started with the Windows 7 Desktop and it takes a brief look the Windows 7 Desktop and the changes in the basic functions of it and how you can perform some customizations for personalization and ease of use. There is some additional focus of the article regarding the Notification Area that is on the right side of the taskbar by default near the time and date information. This part of the Taskbar contains icons for installed program that can provide status for things such as the existence (or lack) of network connectivity, volume control, action center notifications and so forth. For the 70-680 exam it is good to just understand some of these changes – agai
