The best feature of Windows 7…

I discovered today whilst running Windows 7 on my mac using the latest version of Parallels 5 (which is a huge improvement over the earlier versions) that you can actually turn off Windows features like Internet Explorer, Windows Search, that Gadget Platform thing and other media features - the ones that were really annoying in any earlier Window OS. How clever of Microsoft to do that for us - nice!

Ok so here's how you do it -
1.    Go to Start > Control Panel > select Programs & Features.
2.    In the left hand side of the pane, click Turn Windows Features On Or Off.
3.    From here, scroll through the list and just select or deselect the check boxes to enable or disable those annoying Windows features and then click OK.
