As you know, the Control Panel in Microsoft Windows 7 is the central location for all your operating system configuration needs. There, you will find 45 individual tools that will allow you to configure and control just about every aspect of Windows 7.

When you launch it, you’ll discover that the default display for the Control Panel is the Category view and that there are eight categories. You can display the Control Panel in either a large or a small icon view, but either choice shows icons for each of the 45 tools.

Because the Control Panel has so many tools, Microsoft added a Search box to make it easy for you to find the tool that you need for a particular task. Chances are, more often than not, you’ll want to use the Search box when you need to find a specific tool.

To help you become familiar with all the tools that are available in Windows 7’s Control Panel, I have created the Windows 7 Control Panel Walkthrough Photo Gallery series, in which I show you every tool in each of the Control Panel categories. As I do, I provide you with a brief overview of what each tool does.

To further help you become familiar with all the tools in the Windows 7 Control Panel, each Gallery contains a tree diagram that shows a map of the tools presented in the walkthrough.
