August TechFocus:Does Windows 7 Accelerate Productivity?

August 2011

Speed Please! Get Behind the Wheel of Windows 7

Microsoft's Windows 7 is here to accelerate your staff's productivity with its improved interface and faster search features. "IDC research finds that the benefits are not just qualitative in nature; small and medium businesses with 250 of fewer employees, which are deploying Windows 7, are gaining more than happier users, they are lowering support costs, improving security and making end users more productive."

Aside from increased speed, some of the features are pretty neat. One useful feature is the ability to record your keystrokes. Called the "Problem Steps Recorder" its main purpose is to record snapshots of all the steps a user took (comments can also be added) that lead to a problem so a helpdesk person can easily see and troubleshoot the resulting error. Turning this around, it becomes a convenient tool to capture screens on "how-to" to train employees or clients on how to use an application feature.

The Problem Steps Recorder is launched by clicking on your Start button and typing "PSR.EXE" in the Search or Run line. Once you are done recording, it zips the file with a name of your choice, ready for emailing.
