11. Personalizing Windows 7

11. Personalizing Windows 7

image

Would you love to put your own touches on Windows 7? In this chapter, you learn to personalize your Windows 7 experience by performing the following tasks:

Changing your desktop

Adjusting the look of Windows 7

Adjusting mouse behavior

Changing system sounds

You know, you probably spend a lot of time with your computer. You’re browsing, composing, viewing, shopping, and more. Being comfortable while you’re computing is an important part of enjoying your computing experience—and that means being able to set up things the way you like them.

Think of it this way: If your mouse isn’t functioning properly—perhaps the mouse pointer moves too fast or too slow across the screen—you probably feel frustrated when you try to point to an option or click a button. And over time, that kind of low-grade frustration can grow. So this chapter is an exercise in “have it your way” as you learn how to customize a number of Windows 7 settings so you can get things working just the way you like them to work.
