Hovering over it when Aero is enabled will make all the windows transparent.

that is the best thing EVER
How do you enable Areo and what does it do,i did google it but i have not got time to read all the other stuff so i thought i would be lazy.
right click your desktop, go to "personalize", go to "Windows Color and Appearance", click "open classic appearance properties....", change to aero.
It makes still look see through. The edges of your windows and your taskbar go translucent

When a Windows computer is set up to automatically log in (password or not), hold down Shift after the boot screen to make the Welcome screen appear.

Windows Tweaker and Ultimate Windows Tweaker:
two programs that allow you to play around with different settings in windows that (as far as i know) you can't do using other methods native in windows.
the ultimate tweaker is for windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. i believe the rest are covered by "windows tweaker." and by rest i mean windows 7 and vista.

Worthless tip^
In Win7, Winkey+P will cycle through a set of presentation modes-without opening up Display Resolution. Like, mirrored monitors, projector only, etc.

That's if you don't have a context menu key that's usually located on the right side. Also, Ctrl+Esc is how you bring up the Start menu when you don't have a Winkey.

No, no, you're both wrong. Just do it on a Linux OS so you don't have to worry about viruses

Ctrl + Alt + Del to get your "Windows Task Manager", in case you lost your Taskbar, including the green Start-button.
