Seven Cool Tools in Windows 7

New tools in the new OS

Backup utility

While a backup tool was present in Windows Vista, an improved version with more flexible options has been incorporated into Windows 7. This tool lets you backup your files to a local hard drive, a removable disk, an optical drive, or to another computer on a network. You can then choose to backup libraries or individual folders or even exclude certain folders as you may deem necessary.

Text tuning and color calibration

Most of us simply install display drivers and continue to work without paying attention to how the monitor looks or whether we can do something to enhance or improve the image quality. Windows 7 has a set of two tools that takes care of this. The first of these tools it ClearType Text Tuner, which can be opened from the Control Panel. This lets you fine tune the type on each monitor individually in case you have multiple monitors. It looks similar to the eye charts at the optometrist, so you can select the one that looks the best to you. The other tool is known as Display Color Calibration, which is a wizard that lets you adjust the gamma, brightness, contrast and color rendition on the monitor to fine tune the way the image is displayed on your monitor.

Hi Raymonds! Kndly mail the evidence of your allegations to editor@techtree.com and also post it here. If there is none, it would be advisable for you to refrain from such baseless rants in the future.
