    Windows 7 pinning an open window

    I recently received a new computer at work with Windows 7 loaded on it. In the upper right-hand corner of any window, there is a pushpin icon beside the minimize icon. I can use this to pin any open window so that it always stays on top. I didn't realize that this feature is available on Windows...

    Windows 7 nvidia gtx 460 strobe effect when monitor "wakes up"

    Windows 7 change a default keyboard shortcut in W7?

    I would like to change the default keyboard shortcut for opening the Start menu search box from Ctrl+ Esc to something that requires less finger stretching, e.g. Ctrl+Q. How do I do this?
