Vista New Features! Add your findings here!

Hi all,

I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to add any new features that they have found with Vista so far. I normally find myself still using things as they were in XP. Creatures of habit I suppose.

Anyway I'll start off with the following:

If you have aero enabled. Open a few windows on your desktop then use "Windows Key + TAB" to flick through them in a beautiful 3d view. Very Nice

Press windows key and type the name of the app you want and enter. Lot quicker than looking through folders/opening control panel etc. Should say you can type pretty much anything in there, a web address for example and it will start IE.

The sniper tool - lets you get a screen shot of something, but you use a freehand tool to select what you want to copy.

Now that snipping tool is cool :cool:

I use Hypersnap all the time at work, but this is just the ticket for home

Explorer- If you click on the triangles between the folders it lets you shortcut your way around
