Step 1: Search for and run psr from the Start menu.
Step 2: Click Start Record, and the utility will record your activities through a series of screen shots, automatically including captions that show exactly where you clicked.
You can also use the Add Comment button to highlight specific areas of the screen and insert custom messages. When you stop recording, everything will be stitched together and saved as a Web browser-compatible MHTML (MIME HTML) file, conveniently ZIPped and ready for e-mailing to your Support / maintenance person.
When your system's performance goes down and its not working properly and you're trying to figure out what's going on, at that time Reliability Monitor may help you. Search reliability from the Start menu search-bar, and run View reliability history.
You'll get a graph of your system's stability index over a period of days and weeks. It displays which programs, Windows components, or any other miscellaneous items crashed on a given day, helping you identify problem items.
It may sound like hidden GOD mode in some game, but windows 7 really have god mode. It conveniently puts hundreds of settings from all around the operating system at one place.
To turn on God mode, create a new folder on your desktop or anywhere you like, and name it as: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043e01C}
The resulting folder will contain 270 items, representing almost every configuration in windows 7.
