What’s new with Windows 7
27Lesson 1, Getting Started with Windows 7
1
If you were one of the countless Windows Vista users frustrated by the seemingly endless stream
of pop-up alerts, you’ll appreciate Windows 7’s new noti cation system. Rather than launching
a pop-up, Windows 7 displays a special icon (
) in the Taskbar’s Noti cation area. Click the icon
whenever you want to open the new Windows 7 Action Center. This special window o ers
one-stop access to alerts and tasks related to keeping your computer in good form.
Review messages and resolve problems from the Action Center window.
If you have a touch-screen monitor, you can use your  ngers to scroll, resize windows, play
media, pan, and zoom. The Start menu, Taskbar, and Windows Explorer window also support
touch input.
