Features which are present in WINDOWS 7 ONLY but not in XP

1.Normally file copy happens in a single thread,which takes more time,which happens much disadvantageous in case of dual core processors or higher ones.But ,in order it to make a multi threaded program with n number of threads ,you can specify “/MT[:n]” in command line.The optimal value of n will be equal to number of processors.

2.Press the Windows key and type Gpedit.msc. Go to Computer Navigation -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Application Control Policies -> AppLocker. Right click on one of the options and create a new rule.Through this,you can block the users of executing vulnerable scripts and other harmful executables.

3.Effective power management can be done by pressing the Windows Key and typing “POWERCFG –ENERGY –OUTPUT <path\filename>”,which will create a file called energy-report.html in the folder.You can then view the power options for all devices and can compare with the specified ratings.

4.Hold down Shift, right-click the drive and “Open in New Process” which can open even a folder as a new process if it can cause you a crash and terminate all your works.
