NETWORKING
New network icon
The network status notification icon in Windows 7 is highly appreciated for its ability to provide information to users as well as to help them easily monitor wireless network connections, select networks to connect .
In the Windows 7 RC version, Microsoft insists that it will remove some messages that require users with knowledge of the network to fully understand and add a new icon to inform the system status can only be Internal network connection that cannot connect to the external Internet.
CONTROL PANEL
User Account Control
Needless to say, this is the most modified feature in Microsoft Windows 7 after User Account Control in Windows Vista is heavily condemned. Even User Account Control in Windows 7 Beta is still "criticized" by users.
Therefore, in Windows 7 RC Microsoft will implement two basic changes in UAC including allowing the feature to run at a higher integration process level and the second is to change the level of UAC to issue the required warning. The user must confirm permission to perform the task.
Lock the system without Screensaver
In the Windows 7 Beta version, the system automatically locks after a certain period of time users need to set up using a screensaver application. In Windows 7 RC version this feature will be changed. This means that users who do not need a screensaver can automatically lock the system after a certain amount of time.
Better battery usage management
On laptops running Windows 7 Beta, clicking on the battery icon in the Taskbar will activate the context menu to allow users to quickly access various battery usage settings such as 'Balanced' and 'Power Saver'. . By default, the Windows 7 laptop will choose to use 'Balanced' mode.
But some users said they sometimes need to quickly switch to 'High Power' battery mode that allows the system to consume more energy to get the highest operating speed. Windows 7 RC version will be added with High Power in the context menu when users click on the battery icon in the Taskbar. Song High Power will only appear when the user configures settings in Power Options Control.
Customize the theme
Microsoft claims to customize the theme (theme) on the Desktop application is a thing that users always pay attention to and like. Often users want to configure background images, window frame colors, sound and screensavers.
In Windows 7 Beta users also have full customization of the theme but according to the reflection, the operating system does not seem to save their custom settings. Therefore, Windows 7 RC will be fully informed about unsaved topics 'Unsaved Theme' as well as function keys like saving the theme 'Save Theme'.
