After completing chapter 6 I found it to be the heart and
soul of both Windows 7 and your computer. In going through this section you’re focus
is on the Control Panel which touches all parts of the operating system. The
control panel default window contains eight categories that allow you to change
properties of an object and customize the Windows 7 environment. A neat feature
with the control panel is that instead of having eight categories you can
change them to display icons which makes it easier to navigate the system.
It goes on to talk about the Action Center were you can
manage your computer’s security by monitoring several key security features. It
walks you through the Windows Firewall settings which are an important part of
the overall system security. Along with guiding you through the system security
it also covers the Windows Experience Index which evaluates your computers
performance and gives you tips on how to improve it.
The chapter goes in depth on the Device Manager, hardware
and Sound, Mouse configurations, AutoPlay Settings Programs and The Clock,
Language and Region Window. Again all key components in making your system efficient
and customized the way you want.
The User Accounts and Family Safety Window is a great
feature for parents to use in monitoring and curtailing their children’s
activity on the computer. Working through the activity this week regarding the
parental controls was very informative.
Once again another good chapter packed with lots of helpful information.
