Windows 7 (and Vista) Can Help You Find the Things You're Looking For

Today’s Topic: Windows 7 (and Vista) Search—Helping You Find the Things You Thought You Lost
Who? Anyone who can’t remember where they saved something or what they called it. Anyone who’s ever said, “Yeah, I think I remember an email about that but I’ll have to go back and see if I can find it.”
Why? The very quick and very robust search tool in Windows 7 (and Vista) searches your entire computer (yes, it even looks INSIDE the documents) to find the words you’re searching for. (It really is amazing. I’d be lost without it!)
How? Watch this short screencast:

Why F1?

Did you know that pressing the F1 key in nearly any program or application takes you to the help menu? Sure thing! Try it now--you'll get the help menu for Internet Explorer (if that's the browser you're using). Try it in PowerPoint, try it in Word, try it in a house, try it with a mouse . . . . F1 puts learning in YOUR hands. Technology changes too rapidly to only rely on trainings or printed manuals. Instead, the most savvy tech user relies on herself, knowing she can get the most help from a program's help menu. Now you can too. Of course, you can use F1 anytime you want, but here at F1 Tuesdays we'll show off some of the things we think everyone should know and even a few that may impress your friends. Our goal is to make you happy and a bit more snappy with technology.
