Windows Disk Image Burner

In previous versions of Windows, you needed a third-party application to burn an ISO image to your CD or DVD. In Windows 7, this capability is built right into the OS. By default, you can double-click an ISO image and Windows will display the prompt.

Select the CD/DVD burner, insert a disc, and click the Burn button to start burning your CD/DVD.

Calibrating Your Display

Windows 7 includes two cool tools to calibrate your display for text and graphics. These tools are especially useful for notebook computer screens, as they make your display much sharper. These two tools can be launched using Control Pane → Appearance and Personalization → Display.

Note The two tools can also be launched via the command line-cttune.exe and dccw.exe.

The cttune.exe application (the "Adjust ClearType text" link on the left of the window) helps you to calibrate your display for displaying ClearType text.

The dccw.exe application (the "Calibrate color" link) helps you to calibrate the color of your display so that colors can appear accurately.
