Windows 7 Delete

The new Windows 7 is out, and that means a wide search for "Windows 7 compatible" software is on. While Windows 7 has received a lot of praise for its efforts to remain compatible with the bulk of existing applications, incompatibilities do exist, for instance in the areas of system security and system maintenance. Now the question is Will the tools that have been relied upon for years for your Windows XP or Vista systems have trouble under Windows 7? Some of the queries regarding these issues have been addressed.

The antivirus software currently in use on Windows XP may not be compatible with Windows 7. During Windows 7's lengthy pre-release phase, only a handful of antivirus applications were compatible with the operating system. But this has changed though, with the final release of the operating system. Now most of the major antivirus makers have either updated their current products or released new versions of their security software in order to address Windows 7 compatibility. By having a look upon the security software currently used, a user may have to pay an upgrade fee to get the version that's been certified to work properly with Windows 7.

However if the idea of paying for antivirus software is not appealing or if a user is running Windows 7 without antivirus software, one should probably give Microsoft's own Security Essentials package a try. It is free to registered users of Windows 7 and also to earlier versions of Windows . It generally gets high marks in the areas that matter most to computer users. Its detection rate is decent, its footprint is small, and it doesn't disturb with false alerts as much as many other packages do. In short, it's probably all that most people will need.
Partition Magic, another feature, however is not compatible with Windows 7. It is a program that allows to create and resize partitions on a hard drive. It is an important tool if, for example, you want to create a separate partition to hold all of your data files so that they are not mixed up with operating system and application files.

But there is good news. There is a free program that's just as easy to use as Partition Magic. It comes free for home use. Partition Wizard supports both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and it allows resizing partitions as Partition Magic did. To register most resizing operations, one will need to allow the program to reboot your computer pretty much hassle-free.
One may want to have a look at third-party Windows Explorer replacements. For example, Directory Opus (http://www.gpsoft.com.au), is being considered as one of the most powerful and customizable Explorer replacements. It can be set up to imitate closely the look and feel of the Windows Explorer found in XP. One can even tell Opus to respond to the same built-in keyboard command - Windows key+E - that originally opened Windows Explorer.
