The biggest pain in moving to Windows7 was caused by the fact, that I did not find a single system-settings link, where I expected it.
So a simple thing like changing a static IP took the double amount of time, because I had to click through several menues to find the right place.

Here comes the Windows7 System-Settings Overview folder!
Nothing to install - it is all included. It is just a simple folder with some special abilities caused by its name.

Rightclick on your Desktop and create a new folder.
Then name it AdvancedSystemSettings.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (you can replace AdvancedSystemSettings with whatever you want)
That's all!

What you will see now is a long list of most needed System Settings.

Hope it helps ...
