This session will provide some tips, tricks and hints that can, not only, help us in the classroom prepare students for the new certification exams, but will engage students by showing students "non-documented" techniques for setting up a better Windows 7 experience.

Windows 7 has been a big hit for Microsoft, especially after the dismal showing of Windows Vista. However, many of the configuration settings have been changed from the more familiar environment of Windows XP. This has been especially difficult for educators teaching the A+ and Windows certification courses as we have to rewrite our curriculum and prepare new demonstrations and labs. Coupled with this is the problem of familiarizing ourselves with the subtle nuances of Windows 7. This session will provide some tips, tricks and hints that can, not only, help us in the classroom prepare students for the new certification exams, but will engage students by showing students "non-documented" techniques for setting up a better Windows 7 experience.
