Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7
When Microsoft released Windows 7, the company inexplicably did away with a small, nifty utility called the Network Activity Indicator. Now you can have it back. The Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7 does what the Vista utility does, and then some. Like the Vista version, this tool puts a small icon (depicting two monitors) in the system tray to indicate when you’re connected to a network or the Internet, and the icon blinks to show you when your machine is sending or receiving data; it also provides useful information, such as the network to which you’re connected.
On top of that, however, this utility offers a lot more detail. For example, if you hover your mouse over its icon, you’ll see transmission data about the number of packets you’ve sent and received. Right-click the icon, and you’ll find yourself in network techie heaven, with gobs of statistics such as your active open connections, the number of errors you’ve received, your minimum timeout settings, and the like.
Even if you don’t need all of that information, though, this is a very practical addition to your Windows 7 PC. It’s a convenient tool for seeing your network status at a glance.

Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer
One of Windows 7′s nicest improvements is the addition to the taskbar of multiple thumbnail previews, which appear whenever you hover your mouse over a taskbar icon. What makes them superior to the Vista version of the feature is that you can see all currently running windows as thumbnails, not just a single window.
But the revamped thumbnails still have one problem: They’re typically too small to give you much of a preview, especially if you use a large monitor. Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer offers a good fix, allowing you to change their size in any way you desire.
The program is exceptionally easy to use. Just install it, and then move the sliders to determine the size of the thumbnails themselves, as well as the spacing between them, their margins, and the time they take to display.
What if you wish to go back to the way the thumbnails were before you started changing them? Simply click Restore Defaults.
