For that, open the Command ‘Run’ in the ‘Start’ menu, then enter ‘cmd’ and then press ‘Enter’. In Vista, enter ‘cmd’ in the search box in the start menu and select the ‘Run as administrator’.

In the latest Windows 7, the overall size of the windows can be vastly changing with the use of mouse. The freeware AeroSnap enables control of open Windows even in the past Windows versions like in Windows 7. This is one of the small tools in the beta version, but it runs very reliably. You will need the .NET Framework 2.0 installed for the program to work.

Before using this program, you should modify a few options. For that right click on aero snap symbol in the taskbar and choose ‘Options’. On the left, choose the category ‘General’. There, deactivate the option ‘Show splash screen on startup’ and activate ‘Auto start AeroSnap with Windows’. The option ‘Remove AeroSnap from tray area’ should not be activated or the set up dialog can only be activated using the key combination [Windows]+[ A].

If you can assign a hot key in the ‘Snapping’ category, which must be pressed for the AeroSnap function. All the settings are confirmed means press ‘OK’. To customize a window, hence forth its title line and drag it with the mouse to the screen border. When you let go of the mouse, the window automatically snaps to the borders of the screen.

The old size adjustment remains saved and can be restored by single clicking on the title bar. However, this is possible only if the window was not maximized before.

The button width of running programs in the taskbar is restricted. Incase if one program is open, its full name is not visible. When many symbols have to share taskbar space, Windows automatically minimize the size of the individual objects. With enough space however, a specific minimum value is used for these icons. You can modify the size of the buttons in the registry.

For that, open the command ‘Run’ in Windows start menu, enter ‘regedit’ and click ‘OK’. In the editor, navigate to the key ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control panel\Desktop\Window Metrics’. Search for the character string ‘MinWidth’ towards the right of the window. If the entry does not exist, create it with the command ‘Edit| New| Character String’. To edit, double click on the new entry.

The Windows always minimize the actual size to the suitable size of the free space in the taskbar. The set value is used only if free space is more than or equal to this value. For ex, enter ‘1000’ and confirm with ‘OK’. This Windows displays the buttons in as big a size as possible, space permitting. Finally, close the Registry Editor and restart the computer, so that the changes take effect.

Then navigate to the key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ Current Version\ Setup\ Recovery console’ and create the ‘Set Command’ entry of the data type ‘REG_DWORD’ using ‘Edit| New| DWORD value’.

Open it by double clicking and set its value to ‘1’ and the value ‘0’ switch off the function if required later. Close the Registry Editor.

If you start your system with the restoration console, you can grant the required rights using the command ‘SET’:

SET AllowAllPaths – True
SET AllowWildCards – True
SET AllowRemovableMedia – True
SET NoCopyPrompt – True.

These commands allow access to all paths, using Wild Cards, access to removable media and Copying Without a prompt.

This method consider about complicated directories access in a quick way. In continuously used data in the same folder structure on the hard disk. Vista mainly uses the hard links to re-route folder at times. You will re-route consecutively used virtual directories in Vista. Some special folders can be recognized in Explorer with the additional link arrow as a symbol and this is simple. Programs which use the old folder must function correctly in Vista. With the use of the tool ‘mklink.exe’, the principles of hard links used by the system create a symbolic link, which can later open in Explorer.

You must run the command form a command prompt with administrator rights. For that, Enter-> cmd in the search field of the start menu, right click on the displayed program ‘cmd.exe’ and choose the context command ‘ Run as administrator’.

mklink /d C:\photos C:\users\folder name\documents\photos.

With the above command, you can get direct access to the image folder of the user related folder name.

The process of access to the folder is blocked you will want to modify the authorization settings of the folder. It can be easily checking on the folder concerned and chose ‘Properties’ context command. Switch to the “Security” tab and click on “Advanced”. You will notice that the group ‘Permission’ denies the authorization ‘Read & Execute’. In few programs like Antivirus program and System tools cannot handle hard links properly. They consider the re-routed folder as a separate directory and execute the task twice which takes up unnecessary time.
