Stacks on windows 7

 

7stacks is an easy to use, free app that lets Windows 7 (and Vista and XP) users have “stacks” of icons in their Taskbar (in 7) or QuickLaunch Toolbar (in Vista and XP). By using stacks, users canreduce icon clutter, and combine a group of related icons into a single icon. For instance, if you use application suites such as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or Adobe CS4, you can have all the suite’s icons combined into one icon!

You can also use it to browse and access documents within a folder very quickly. Usually, when you want to edit a series of frequently used documents, you’d have to either launch the app, and go to File|Open, or open the (My) Computer icon and go into your (My) Documents folder and pick the file you want. With 7stacks, just create a stack to that document’s folder, and open that document in a couple of clicks.

7stacks was created because of my own frustrations with Windows 7, as great an OS as Win7 is. Because Windows 7′s new taskbar, called the SuperBar is very similar to the Mac OS X Dock, many comparisons are going to be made. But Windows 7 seemed to have one glaring omission of OSX: stacks. Now, with 7stacks, you get almost the same functionality as the OS X stacks, but with a more “Windows 7″ appearance.

7stacks is incredibly easy to use, and has a variety of looks and features, allowing anyone to customize the look of their stack however they’d like. And using Windows 7, its easy to create new stacks by right-clicking on any stack, and selecting “Create New Stack” in the JumpList. 7stacks will place an shortcut icon on your desktop to this new stack, which you can then pin to your Windows 7 taskbar, or Vista or XP QuickLaunch bar.

7stacks even solves the problem other similar apps have had: forcing users to “hack” the executables and shortcuts to allow multiple stacks on the Windows 7 taskbar. 7stacks solves this by using 10 identical executables (numbered 0-9) and assigning the shortcuts slots based on which ones are used. The end result is that you can just pin up to 10 stacks on the taskbar, with no need to even think about hacking or reconfiguring or adjusting .. it just works!

Check out these features:

• In 7 and Vista, 7stacks uses Aero, making the stacks look like part of Windows itself.
• Browse subfolders within a stack, just like in OS X Snow Leopard.
• 3 different styles of stacks: Normal, Grid, and Menu
  • Normal displays a stack of icons vertically, with a text description next to it.
  • Grid displays a “squarish” grid of icons only; useful when displaying a large number of items like document folders.
  • Menu displays a cascading menu of items, with a very small icon and a name next to it. Hover over subfolders to browse inside those folders.
• In Windows 7, create a new stack by right-clicking on any stack and selecting “Create New Stack” from the JumpList entry.
• In Menu mode, 7stacks doesn’t even need to be in a toolbar. You can use it right from your desktop, or any other folder.
• Pin up to 10 different stacks on the Windows 7 taskbar

Disable User Account Control (UAC)

 Disable UAC

"UAC stands For User Account Controls it is a security System introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. In this way, only applications trusted by the user may receive administrative privileges, and malware should be kept from compromising the operating system. In other words, a user account may have administrator privileges assigned to it, but applications that the user runs do not inherit those privileges unless they are approved beforehand or the user explicitly authorizes it"

Whatever Wikipedia says i found No Fun in UAC :/

If you have a single user System you don't have to turn it on,coz you are the only one using it so it will be annoying When you have to give permissions .

Disable  UAC in Windows 8

Step 1 :Login As Administrator and  Type UAC in start screen ,then Under the settings Section you can see the Item 'Change the user account control settings' click on it to open

Step:2 Now you can see a window with a slide button to change the setting

•  Level 1:Always Notify

• Level 2:Default level of UAC(turned on by default)

Level 3: It is the level Where You try to install the UAC will pop up but Stay silent when ypu change windows settings

Level 4:This is the level where UAC completely  disables .it won't pop   when you change or install new software
