I reluctantly bought a new PC loaded with Windows 7. My tech guy insisted! (just like he did when I bought my last laptop with Windows Vista
)
This time I am glad I listened. I am loving Windows 7. Although Vista has many of the same features, the upgrades that came with Windows 7 just seem easier and more fun. (Or maybe I just have more time to play????)
One of the kewlest features of Windows 7, is the ability to display a bunch of Gadgets on the desktop. They appear in little windows which display the relevant information for the gadget and, you can keep an eye on stuff like sports scores, your local weather and traffic, a quick and simple to-do list etc., without having to open your web browser or any other application. (You do have to have an active internet connection to use most of the gadgets).
There are tons of gadgets to choose from. Some of my favorites are:
- to do list
- photos
- weather
- picture puzzles
- news feed
- bing search
- zapping box
Using Windows 7 Gadgets is easy as A – B – C and D!
- A. Which Gadgets do you have? To learn which gadgets you already have right click on your desktop and select Gadgets.
- B. To install a gadget, click on it then choose add.
- C. To change settings on a gadget, click on the wrench icon then follow the prompts
- D. To relocate a gadget on your desktop, hover your mouse near the right of the gadget then click the little keypad image
- From the Desktop only:
hover your mouse over the gadget then click on the X- From your computer:
right click on any blank space on your desktop
right click on the gadget you wish to remove from your computer
select uninstallGet Gagets
Follow step A above then enter info for the kind of gadget you would like to see:
