send-to-normal

send-toshift

I don't really know how I could send the "SMART" folder (taken as guinea pigs for this example) by fax or putty.exe, but we have to understand that Windows 7 it is currently in a development stage Beta. :)

Oh .. and the picture above you can also see two new options to me occurred when I used the combination Shift + right-click.

Copy as Path - Copy location (Path) File or folder HDD. In the example above, the SMART folder is on Desktop. After I gave "Copy as Path", my W: Users was saved in the clipboardStealth SettingsDesktopSMART ”

Open in New Process – Open the contents of the folder in a new process. (eg explorer.exe). This novelty is very important in resource management system.
