File management:
File Naming: Windows 7 supports filenames with up
to 255 characters, allowing for descriptive and
detailed names. For example,
"Financial_Report_Q1_2024.xlsx".
File Structure: Organized into folders (directories) in a
hierarchical structure. Example: "Documents" folder
containing files like "Report.docx",
"Presentation.pptx", and "Budget.xlsx".
FileTypes: Windows 7 supports
various file types, associated with
specific applications. Example:
".docx" with Microsoft Word, ".xlsx"
with Microsoft Excel.
FileAccess - File Attributes: Files
can have attributes like read-only,
hidden, system, etc. Example:
Setting a file as read-only to prevent
changes.
FileOperations: Copy,
move, delete, rename, and
create new files. Example:
copy Report.docx C:\Backup.
Directory Structure: Hierarchical tree structure.
Example:makefileCopy code
C:\ ├── Users │ ├── User1 │ ├── User2 │ └── ... ├──
Programs ├── Windows └── ...
Directory Operations: Create, delete, move, and
rename directories. Example: mkdir Projects.
File System Structure: Uses NTFS
(New Technology File System).
Supports features like compression,
encryption, etc. Example:
Encrypting files using BitLocker.
File Allocation Methods: Uses
Master File Table (MFT) for file
information.
Example: Allocating disk space for
a new file.
Free-Space Management:
Manages free space using cluster
allocation and free space bitmap.
Ensures efficient utilization of
space. Example: Updating free
space bitmap when deleting a
file.
Special Features:
Libraries: Organize files from multiple locations into
a single view. Example: Creating a "Work" library
including folders from different drives.
Previous Versions: Automatically creates shadow
copies of files, allowing restoration of previous
versions. Example: Restoring an earlier version of a
document.
DiskCleanup: Utility to remove
unnecessary files, freeing up disk
space. Example: Deleting
temporary files and system files.
Disk Defragmenter: Optimizes
disk performance by rearranging
fragmented data. Example:
Scheduling Disk Defragmenter to
run automatically.
BitLocker: Encrypts drives to
prevent unauthorized access to
data. Example: Encrypting the
system drive to secure data in
case of theft.
These special features enhance
user productivity, security, and
efficiency in managing files and
folders in Windows 7.
Taskbar and Aero Peek: Windows 7 introduced a
redesigned taskbar that included the ability to pin
applications and a feature called Aero Peek, which allowed
users to quickly peek at the desktop by making all windows
transparent when hovering over a small rectangle on the
right side of the taskbar.
Libraries: Windows 7 introduced Libraries, a feature that
allowed users to aggregate multiple folders into a single
view. This made organizing and accessing files more
efficient.
Improved Performance: Windows 7 was
known for its improved performance and
reduced system resource usage compared to
Windows Vista. It included enhancements to the
Windows kernel, resulting in faster boot times
and overall system responsiveness.
Aero Snap and Shake: Aero Snap allowed
users to easily resize and position windows by
dragging them to the edges of the screen, while
Aero Shake let users quickly minimize all but
the active window by shaking it back and forth.
Home Group: Windows 7 introduced Home
Group, making it easier to share files, printers,
and other resources on a home network. It
simplified the process of setting up a home
network and sharing content among multiple
computers.
Jump Lists: Jump Lists provided quick access
to recent documents, frequently used files, or
common tasks.
Thank
