Context menus are generally quite useful, and the “Send to” utility in particular comes in very handy when managing files on Windows. The good thing about this little tool is that it can be easily customized to include those folders and apps you use on a frequent basis, and the best of all is that you can do it without having to install any third-party app.

Customize the Send to menu on Windows 7

All you need to do is go to this specific location in your Windows 7 system: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo and add shortcuts to all the folders or applications you want to have in your Send to menu. You’ll see them right there the next time you right click on any file.

Security Warning

Would you like to be able to still run Microsoft Windows XP while you get familiar with Windows 7? Well, moving your existing Windows XP system to a virtual machine that you can run in Windows 7 is a relatively easy procedure with the Disk2vhd tool from Microsoft's Windows Sysinternals team: Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell.

In this edition of the Windows Desktop Report, I'll show you how to use Disk2vhd, which is a free tool, to move your Windows XP installation into Windows 7 and then run it with Windows Virtual PC.

What is Disk2vhd?
As its name implies, Disk2vhd is designed to create VHD versions of physical disks. This tool can be used to convert systems running Windows XP SP2 and up as well as Windows Server 2003 and up. To perform this task, the Disk2vhd utility makes use of the Windows Volume Snapshot feature built into the operating system. When you run Disk2vhd, it first creates a volume snapshot image of the hard disk. It then exports that image into a VHD that you can then add to Windows Virtual PC as well as to Hyper-V Manager. If you'll be using Windows Virtual PC, keep in mind that it supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB. If you create a VHD from a larger disk it will not be accessible from a Windows Virtual PC virtual machine. Another thing to keep in mind is that Windows Virtual PC doesn't support the Multiprocessor Specification and it will not be able to boot VHD's captured from multiprocessor systems.

Launching Resource Monitor

There are actually several ways that you can launch Resource Monitor. If you happen to be in Task Manager, you can click its button on the Performance tab. You can access Resource Monitor from the Start menu by navigating to All Programs | Accessories | Systems Tools. Or you can just click the Start button, type Resmon.exe in the Start Search box, and press [Enter].

When you do, you’ll see the Resource Monitor user interface with its five tabs, as shown in Figure A. On each tab, you’ll find several tables of detailed real-time data as well as multiple graphs.

Windows 7’s Resource Monitor sports a tabbed user interface with multiple graphs.

Our tipster says this is the HP Slate 500.

We've gotten our hands on a handful of leaked photos of what is purportedly the upcoming HP Slate 500 tablet. Following on the hands-on video found on YouTube last week, this is the second recent appearance of a Windows version of this much-delayed tablet.

These pics, courtesy of a tip provided to our pals at Buzz Out Loud, show a tablet running Windows 7, along with a docking stand (with USB and HDMI ports), and a leather-like case with a hole cut in it for the rear-facing camera.

Windows 7 is faster overall than Vista. But startup and shutdown times can still be frustrating. If you shut down your computer once a day -- or more -- those minutes waiting for a usable Windows 7 desktop can seem to drag on forever.

The same can go for shutting down. The good news: There are steps you can take to shave seconds, even minutes, off of both processes.

Use Your Cores

Windows 7 is the first version of the operating system that can use all processor cores to speed bootup. There's just one problem: the feature is not active by default.

You can change that, though. Open Windows 7's Start menu, type "msconfig," and click the msconfig.exe entry that appears. The System Configuration dialog box opens.

1. Virtualise applications and user settings

Desktop virtualisation commands much of the attention in the IT market today, with some vendors saying the technology will ease migration to Windows 7. But this isn't the only type of virtualisation that can make Windows 7 upgrades and future OS migrations easier than they might otherwise be.

Two technologies to consider are application virtualisation and user virtualisation. Nik Gibson, the enterprise desktop practice leader at Forsythe, a technology consulting firm, has worked with many large enterprises on virtualisation projects, and says it's often easier to virtualise applications than desktops. "We see that a lot. It takes longer to virtualise the desktops than the applications," he says. "The desktops are more unique," with various use cases depending on the employee.
