If you’re anything like us, once you’ve installed a new operating system or bought a new PC, you start out organizing files and documents with the best of intentions. But before long your Windows Desktop becomes your de facto filing cabinet, peppered with shortcuts, frequently used spreadsheets, random photos, and abandoned detritus. The easy way to access that debris field to find something—the <b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows key + D</b> combination, which minimizes all Windows for a clear view of the desktop—is a helper that most of us know.</div>

Windows 7, though, lets you bring up the desktop without taking your hand off your mouse or pointing device—but it’s not obvious how until you stumble upon it. In the extreme lower right portion of the screen, at the far-right edge of the taskbar, you’ll see a little vertical rectangle with a “glossy” finish. Hover the mouse pointer over it, and the Windows Desktop appears, letting you inspect it. (You’ll still see ghostly outlines of the windows you have open.) Move the mouse off the rectangle, and your windows reappear. You can also activate this via a keyboard shortcut:<b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows key + spacebar.</b></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Click on the rectangle, though (as opposed to hovering), and you’ll minimize all windows, allowing you to interact with the desktop, open folders, and the like. If you don’t open or maximize any new windows manually, clicking the rectangle a second time restores the view to the state it was in before you clicked</div>

Another great time saver is the file preview pane within a folder or library. Use it to see a file's contents without opening the file in a program. You can open the preview pane in a window by pressing Alt+P. Items such as photos and PDF files will be previewed in this area when you click them.

<div class="para" style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
ClearType is a tool that improves the readability of the text on your LCD screen.

<div class="para" style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Now you can make the Sticky Notes you keep on your desktop even handier. You can format the text and change its color, as well as resize, collapse, and flip through several Sticky Notes.

Windows Defender <a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/128182/6-ways-windows-8-is-more-secure-than-windows-7/" style="color: #114491;">replaces Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8</a>, but it does not include the ability to quickly right-click folders and scan them. However, you can add this option yourself with a quick registry hack.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
This trick adds a “Scan with Windows Defender” option to the context menu that appears when you right-click a folder. It works similarly to the “Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials” option on previous versions of Windows.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Unfortunately, there is no command that launches Windows Defender in graphical mode and initiates a scan, so we will have to launch Windows Defender in a Command Prompt window.</div>

Option 1: Download and Run a .reg File</h3>
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
You can add this option to your registry by downloading and running the file below. This will do everything for you – just download the .zip file, open it, and double-click the AddWindowsDefenderToContextMenu.reg file it contains.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
If you want to remove this option later, run the included RemoveWindowsDefenderFromContextMenu.reg file.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
If you would rather add this context menu option manually, follow the instructions below.</div>
