I recently transitioned my personal blog from Windows Live Spaces to WordPress, but one of  the things I noticed was the amount of comment emails that are sent to my Windows Live Hotmail inbox. Fortunately, Hotmail makes its easy to customize and configure your inbox and with the new wave 4 release./ Now that the service includes unlimited rules, you can create as many rules as you need to keep your inbox clean and organized.

The first thing I will do is setup a folder just for messages from WordPress. To do that, under the folders pane in Hotmail, click New Folder. Inyour case, create the folders you need for rules you plan to create.

Give the folder a name and click Save.

Next click the Options link at the right hand top of the Hotmail page.

Under Customizing Hotmail, click Rules for sorting new messages link.

Click New.

Select the type of messages you want this rule to be applied to, you have a number of options:

In my case, I will select Sender’s address. Avoid using criteria with invalid characters such as period or exclamation sign.

The next option is to select where I want those messages to go, in my case, it’s the WordPress folder I created earlier. Since I already created the folder, I will click in the ‘Move to Inbox’ If you have not created a folder, just enter the name in the Move to a new folder field.

Then click Save.

Your messages from that particular address will automatically be moved to that folder.

You can now review or delete the filter. Keep creating filters in Windows Live Hotmail until you have your messages sorted how you want. Just remember if you send the email messages to a specific folder they won’t show up in your inbox.

Jump Lists are contextual menus built into Taskbar and Start Menu list displaying your most recently accessed files along with common Task in some apps you can quickly start (jump into). In Windows XP, your only option was either the Recent Items menu (which still exist in Windows 7), the application File menu recent list or searching for the in a folder.

Jump List in Windows 7

There are several applications I use day in day out, Microsoft Word, Windows Live Writer and Paint are a few examples. There are either articles I am currently working on or would like to reference.

Desktop Slideshow This is not really a time saver, but if you want to use up some idle time at work before the clock hit’s 5 P.M. here’s is a nice feature of the Windows Desktop you definitely will enjoy. In Windows 7, Microsoft provides in addition to window colour, the ability to choose pre-packaged themes that matches the bundled wallpapers. Glass colour options have increased from 8 in Vista to 16 now in 7. The Personalization explorer supports changing your desktop wallpaper automatically at timed intervals or you invoke it manually by right clicking the desktop and click the ‘Next Desktop Background Picture’ contextual menu option. You can selectively choose different wallpapers you would like to be added to the slideshow, you can even create your own themes and save them. The Personalization explorer itself is more centralized providing a one stop approach to customizing your Desktop Background, Sounds and Screen Saver while you are at it. Let me show you how to setup a Slideshow and Save a theme in Windows 7.

Right click Desktop > click Personalize

In the Personalization shell, click Desktop Background 

Hover over wallpaper and check the box that appears, do this for more than one wallpaper.

Then click in the ‘Change picture every:’ list box and select a timed interval > Save Changes.

You can also save custom backgrounds and Aero Glass colour by simply selecting the ‘Save theme’ in Personalization.

You can get more themes and backgrounds online if you are not satisfied with the pre-bundled collection at the Windows 7 Personalize your PC website.
