Introduction
Windows 7 is Microsoft’s newest operating system. If you are looking to add a personal touch to your installation of Windows 7, this book will help you get started.
There are thousands of customizations you can apply and this pocket guide only scratches the surface. As always, I’ve written this book so anyone can pick it up and work through it.
I recommend you begin by reading the chapter; this chapter will give you a good foundation for the rest of the book. A basic knowledge of how Windows works is required to follow most of the sections; however, if you are very new with computers, I am confident you will learn a great amount as you go through this book—taking things one step at a time.
Once you have read the Get Started section, you’re ready to explore the rest of the book and personalize your machine to match your style. I’m sure there’s something here for everyone; take a browse through the
Contents page and see what strikes your interest. You do not need to read this book in order; feel free to explore.

If this version of the book seems a little dated, head to Windows Guides for an updated version.
I began writing this book as soon as the public beta came out. I felt this was a good time to start getting familiar with the features that would soon be ready with the released version of the operating system. However, as features are updated, some of these sections may no longer work exactly as stated. I will continually update this book and make sure that it's ready for the final release of Windows 7. Please note: This guide is up to date as of Windows 7 RTM
