UAC Control Panel:

Windows 7 UAC Control Panel

“The UAC Control Panel enables you to choose between four different settings:

  1. Always notify on every system change. This is Vista behavior – a UAC prompt will result when any system-level change is made (Windows settings, software installation, etc.)
  2. Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer. This setting does not prompt when you change Windows settings, such as control panel and administration tasks.
  3. Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer, without using the Secure Desktop. This is the same as #2, but the UAC prompt appears on the normal desktop instead of the Secure Desktop. While this is useful for certain video drivers which make the desktop switch slowly, note that the Secure Desktop is a barrier to software that might try to spoof your response.
  4. Never notify. This turns off UAC altogether.”

More proof that microsoft are really listening to their user base. For years people have been fustrated with the amount of prompts that pop up and ask you a silly question, you were/are able to dissable these but you would need to be on the nerdy side to even think of turning them off. Anyhow Windows 7 wont be anywhere as annoying as the previous versions of windows have been when it comes to the user control panel.

People using the older Windows 7 beta will not notice this change only those who are using Windows 7 build 7000. A nice touch from Microsoft.

Disk Defragmentation Upgraded

Microsoft are working very hard to make sure the upcoming Windows 7 operating system is the complete package, and here is another example that MS are really striving to gain back Windows users.

Windows 7 Disk Defragmentation has been upgraded and improved in many ways, for years now most desktop users have had to use 3rd party software applications such as o&o defrag and many other titles to help keep their Microsoft Windows based desktop running nice and smooth.

One of the main improvements is the new GUI “graphical user interface” Windows vista was very limited in terms of user effects over the Defragmentation process with Windows 7 the user now has a lot more control and information about the status of the hard drives.

Microsoft have also addressed the “Cancel” problem that rendered many hard drives needing a format, you are now able to cancel the operation during a defrag without causing any physical damage or file structure damage. Windows 7 will set a new standard in desktop computing.

Below are some screenshots of the new Windows 7 Defrag system:
