    Are you getting the most from Windows 7? Sure, you know all about Jump Lists and pinning apps to the taskbar, but what about the operating system's lesser-known features and secrets?

    Over at 4sysops, IT guru Michael Pietroforte lists his favorite Windows 7 tips, and they're all winners. Here's a sampling:

    We're particularly fond of Pietroforte's idea to use Aero Snap to place Explorer windows side by side for easy file management.
