Windows Tools, Help & Guides

Although many features included in early OS builds never make the final cut, this is one I hope will stay. Picture this: you log on to your PC at home and get it just the way you want. Now, when you go to a different PC, you can use these same settings just by logging in. I think this is a great feature and, although it’s something I’ve wanted for years, it’s not a simple feature to implement. If this one makes it to Windows 8, I hope it works and it works very well.

Here’s some of the data that will be synced:

• Personalization: Desktop background image, Windows colors
• Accessibility: All accessibility related tools and settings, including the magnifier, on screen keyboard and speech recognition settings
• Language Settings: The language profile, text prediction preferences and dictionary
• Application Settings: Settings for applications and the search history
• Windows Settings: Taskbar, Windows Explorer, Search and Mouse settings
• Credentials: Wireless network profiles and website credentials
