Where is the “My Computer” Icon in Windows 7?

Why doesn’t Windows 7 have a My Computer desktop icon?

With Windows 95 through XP, PC users became accustomed to seeing default icons like “My Computer” on the desktop, but if you haven’t spent any time on Vista, you may be confused by the lack of a My Computer icon on the desktop of Windows 7. In fact, the only icon you’ll see on the Windows 7 desktop is the Recycle Bin.

The icons you’re used to seeing on the desktop are found in Windows 7’s Start menu. Hit the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, look at the rightmost column in the Start menu and you will see a few familiar options — Documents, Pictures, Music and more. Notice that the “My” has been removed from all these labels. You may not notice it at first, but My Computer is now just “Computer. Click on the “Computer” option and you will open up an Explorer window containing all the things normally found under My Computer.

How to Burn Files to a CD or DVD in Windows 7

The “Burn Disc” feature of Windows 7 works the same for both CDs and DVDs. You can burn files to either type of disc through the Explorer without any third party software.

Insert the disc

You will need a drive capable of writing to whatever sort of disc you wish to burn. For CDs, you’ll need a CD writer and for DVDs, you’ll need a DVD writer. Get a blank disc and insert it into the drive.

Choose which type of disc to burn

Windows 7 AutoPlay window.

Most likely, the Autoplay window will appear and ask what you wish to do with the blank disc. Choose Burn files to disc using Windows Explorer.

burn-disc

The “Burn Disc” dialog box will pop up and ask you which type of disc you wish to burn. The options are to burn a disc “Like a USB flash drive”, or one that “works with a CD/DVD player”.

  • Like a USB flash drive — The session will not be closed, meaning you will be able to add and remove files from your disc after it is burned. Many modern computers will be able to work with a disc such as this, but older computers and many electronics such as stereos and DVD players might not be able to read it.
  • Works with a CD/DVD player — Once your files are burned to the disc, everything is finalized and no further changes will be made. This type of disc will work with the widest range of computers and electronics.

Unless you have a need to work with the contents of the disc that requires you to modify them later, I suggest that you choose the second option. For example, if I were burning a batch of photos to a CD or DVD for a friend, I would choose “works with a CD/DVD player”.

If the AutoPlay window does not appear after you insert the disc, you can manually bring it up by clicking Start, Computer, then double-clicking on your CD/DVD drive.

My Computer screen showing the CD/DVD drive

This can happen if another application takes control of the blank disc before Explorer — for example, when I put a blank test disc into my PC, I didn’t see the AutoPlay window because iTunes detected the disc first and asked if I wanted to make a music CD.

Add files to the blank disc

You can now add files to your blank CD or DVD through a number of ways. Here are a few:

  1. Drag and drop files onto the blank disc through Windows Explorer.
  2. Copy and paste files onto the blank disc.
  3. Write click on any file, mouse over Send to… and choose your CD/DVD drive.
send-file-to-disc-drive

Burn the file(s) to your blank CD or DVD

If you don’t already have a Windows Explorer window for your blank CD or DVD open, click Start, click Computer and open up your CD/DVD drive. In the Explorer window, you’ll see all the files waiting to be written to your blank disc. Click Burn to Disc on the Windows Explorer toolbar. You’ll be asked to Prepare the Disc, in which you give it a name and select a recording speed. Make your choices and hit “Next”.

You’ll see a progress bar appear on your screen, and when it’s done your disc will be ready.

How to Open .7z Files in Windows 7

Can I open .7z Files in Windows 7?

.7z files are archive files generated with the 7-Zip software, and yes, you can indeed open these files in Windows 7. The latest release of the 7-Zip File Manager works with Windows 7.

Get the 7-Zip software

You will need to download and install the 7-Zip software in order to work with these types of files. I used the 32-bit .exe file, but if you know that you have a 64-bit system be sure to download the appropriate .msi installer.

Open a .7z file

Once the 7-Zip software is installed, it will add a helpful new option to your Windows 7 context menu.

  1. Right-click on a .7z file. The right-click context menu will appear.
  2. Click “7-Zip”.
  3. Choose one of the options for extracting the file.
Screenshot of extracting a .7z file in Windows 7

I chose “Extract Here” to put the .7z archive’s contents in the same location as the original file – on my desktop – but you can also choose to extract it to a folder with the same name as the archive, or pick “Extract files…” for more options.

How to burn files to a DVD in Windows 7

First of all, if Sticky Keys is on then you will probably want to turn it off — remove the check mark from the box next to “Turn on Sticky Keys” (if it’s checked).

Press the OK button to save your changes, and you should no longer see the Sticky Keys popup warning you that the feature has detected your key presses and decided to activate itself.

All About the New Taskbar in Windows 7

When you dive into Windows 7, one of the first new features you will notice is the brand new Windows 7 taskbar. Y’know that strip across the bottom of your screen that contains the Start Button and any applications that are open? Well it’s been completely, drastically rebuilt in terms of both appearance and functionality. It looks totally different, and works nothing like what you’re used to in older versions of the operating system.

That sounds frightening

Actually, it’s exciting! The new Windows 7 taskbar is a great enhancement to Windows — it borrows ideas from Mac OS X’s Dock, combines functionality from the old taskbar and Quick Launch bar, and puts all that together into a drastically different yet intelligent and functionally simple tool for managing applications and windows.

Pinning applications to the Windows 7 taskbar

With the old taskbar, the user would launch applications from the Start button or Quick Launch bar at which time buttons for each running app would appear in the taskbar. You could then use those buttons to manage your windows.

The new Windows 7 taskbar combines window management and the launching of applications into one simplified interface. Icons for running applications appear in the Win 7 taskbar with a border around the graphic. You may think this simply means that we’ve switched from rectangular buttons to square icons, but that’s not where things end. In addition to icons for running apps, any other application can be “pinned” to the Windows 7 taskbar. Its icon will stay put whether or not the app is running. When you launch an app, its icon will be highlighted with a border to differentiate it from other icons for dormant applications.

Screenshot of application icons in the new Windows 7 taskbar

In the screenshot above, you can clearly see these taskbar enhancements at work. The icons for Firefox, iTunes and MS Paint are all surrounded by a border since they’ve been launched. The other icons such as those for XBMC and Picasa do not have borders — they’ve been pinned to the taskbar and stay in place, waiting for me to launch them with a single click.

Peeking at running applications

When your mouse hovers over the icon of a running application in the Windows 7 taskbar, you will see a small thumbnail preview appear. You can close applications from their preview, interact with them, and peek at them — peeking makes every other window go transparent except the one at which you are peeking.

Screenshot of peeking at an application in the Windows 7 taskbar

In this screenshot, you can see how “peeking” works. Why is Firefox open? What did I last do in that application? I hover my mouse over the Firefox icon and the little preview appears, letting me know that, oh yes, I was watching an episode of House on Hulu.

Familiar taskbar elements

The Windows 7 taskbar contains the familiar system tray, clock and notification area on the far right side. The system tray has been minimized and shows only a few icons unless you elect to see more. Notifications — like those little yellow bubbles in XP — appear in a small message window. You can customize how these behave and choose to hide notifications from specific applications.

We think you’ll like it

The new Windows 7 taskbar brings significant change to the way in which users launch applications and manage windows — and we think you’ll like it. It may sound as if the new taskbar has gotten more complicated, but in reality it is a compact, sophisticated tool that is simple to use. Once you learn the ins and outs of Windows 7’s new taskbar you may very well find yourself working much more efficiently.
