Windows7-Taskbar.Pdf
Taskbar The new Windows 7 Taskbar is still the same familiar place for switching between applications/windows. But now it's larger, more flexible, and more functional. In Windows 7 the user can position or "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar. Now the user can rearrange the programs/windows by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. The Taskbar is made up of the following elements: 1. The Start menu is at the left end of the taskbar. 2. Open Programs and Windows 3. System tray (notification area) 4. The Show Desktop button at the right end. A typical DePaul taskbar looks like the following: The Taskbar is an application launcher as every time the user opens a program; its icon will appear on the Taskbar. When you exit the program, its icon will disappear. If it is a frequently used program you can place it on the Taskbar by using the “pin” icon. Just right click on the program and click on “Pin to this program to taskbar”. Likewise you can remove it by “Unpin this Program from taskbar”. When the user right-clicks, there is a “Jump List” of recently used documents, click to open as shown below: Windows 7 builds “Jump Lists” automatically, tracking the documents that you open. A user can also install files manually into a program’s “Jump List”. The user can drag the document from an Explorer window to the taskbar, a tooltip will appear asking “Pin to Microsoft Word” (or whatever program the user created the file with.) If the file is already in the “Jump List” just slide over it, a “pin” will appear and click on the “pin” as shown below: In Windows 7, the Taskbar does more than display open applications.

How to Set Windows Media Player As Default in Windows 10/8.1
How To Set Windows Media Player As Default In Windows 10/8.1 On both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, Microsoft has set modern or universal apps as default for most file types. The Music app or Groove Music (on Windows 10) is the default music or media player. While the Groove Music app in Windows 10 is pretty good and it has been revamped with a number of new features, it still lacks a couple of features, and it isn’t as good as Windows Media Player or any other popular desktop player for that matter. Even though Microsoft hasn’t done any major improvements to Windows Media Player for a long time, it’s still one of the best media player software out there for Windows operating system. The problem with the default Groove music in Windows 10 is its unpredictable behaviour and more importantly, takes good amount of time to open when compared to the classic Windows Media Player. If you like Windows Media Player for some reason and want to set it as the default player in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you can follow the given below instructions. Method 1 – make WMP default player on Windows 10 Method 2 & 3 – set WMP as default on Windows 8.1 Make Windows Media Player default on Windows 10 Step 1: Open Start menu, click Settings icon to open Settings app. Step 2: Click System (Display, notifications, apps, power). Step 3: Click Default apps. Scroll down to see Music Player section. Step 4: As you can see, Groove Music is the default music or media player on Windows 10.
