by THE WINDOWS VISTA & WINDOWS 7 START MENU SEARCH BOX
It’s a magical box that knows exactly what you’re looking for – be it a program, a file, a contact, or even an upcoming appointment in your calendar. And it aint hard to use either:
- Click on the Start button
- Start typing what you are looking for
Wow…that was pretty complicated to explain. And probably even way more complicated to execute. 🙂
And how do you customize what results show up?
- Click on the Start button
- Type Indexing Options and click on Indexing Options in the results box
- You’ll see what parts of your computer are being indexed. Click on Modify to make changes
I’ll try to make the next tip a much easier one…I promise.
I showed this to my sister yesterday who recently got a new computer with Windows 7. Her response was….so they want to make it even easier to use a computer because they think you are dumb? To which I replied, no! It is to make your life easier! Why click 5 levels deep to change one setting on your mouse when you can just click start type in “Mouse” and all the settings are a single click away.
I think I changed her point of view 🙂
