As it’s well known, the taskbar in Windows 7 is different to those in previous operating systems. One of its new features is ‘Jump lists’ that appear when a user right-clicks a window’s icon.
Unlike earlier versions of Windows, when a user right-clicks a Windows 7 item, he can no longer: Move, Maximize/Restore or Minimize its window(s) because a jump list appears instead of the old menu with these options.

Nevertheless, users can still do so by holding the SHIFT key while right-clicking. This opens the old menu with the (mentioned above) options. If multiple windows of the same application are open, the user is given options that affect all windows, such as closing, restoring/maximizing, minimizing and arranging them.

I think that there are other simple, but useful things that can still be discovered in Windows 7 (such as the Shortcut to Create a New Folder in Windows 7). If you want more keyboard tricks, then check out Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts.
