  Shake the mouse
  With many windows open, you can click and drag one of them, shake your mouse while still holding it, and you’ll see the rest disappear. This allows you to look at the desktop and move files around. Shake again and the disappeared ones will return back to screen.

  Snap resize
  You can resize windows by moving them to the edges of your screen.

  Aero Peek (Applies to Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate edition)
  Tap the button in the bottom right of the taskbar and you’ll see all your windows turn transparent. Useful for find icons or hidden windows.

  Desktop slideshow
  Create slideshows on your desktop. Choose a selection of images, and Windows 7 will cycle through them.

  Jump Lists
  Right click on a program icon on the taskbar and you’ll see your most commonly chosen functions associated with the program.

  Improved Search
  Start typing in Windows Search and you will see the results starts to show up. Results are grouped by type, with keywords and text highlighted to make it easy to find. You can also allow Search to includes external hard drives and LAN.
