I want to change the default location of Search index but not aware of whether it can be stored somewhere else. If yes, please assist.
Ans:By default, Search Index is stored at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data folder but the default location can be changed.

Windows 7 Windows Resizing Tricks
Windows 7 has some nice windows resizing tricks. It also retains some of the tricks introduced in Vista, that you may not know about, even if you are a regular Vista user.
New to Windows 7 are title bar mouse gestures.
You can maximize a window just by dragging it off the top of the screen, which is great. You can restore the window by dragging the title bar down, which is even better.
If you want to move the window, you can start from a maximized window and just drag it to where you want it. Before you had to restore it first, then move it. With Windows 7, when you drag the window down, it restores, then you just keep dragging it to where you want it.
Drag a window off the edge of the screen, and the window resized to half the screen. Drag another window off the other side of the screen, and you now have two documents arranged neatly side by side.
There is another nice full height trick. Drag the top edge of a window beyond the top of the screen, and it automatically resizes to the full height of the screen, without changing the width. You can also drag the bottom of the window down if you prefer.
Right-clicking the taskbar gives you more windows arrangement features which were also available in Vista. You can arrange up to three windows side by side, or stacked one above the other. More than that and the arrangement is less neat, but you still may find it useful.
You may not have been aware of this feature even in Vista. Previous versions of Windows had something similar, but it worked with all running applications. Since Vista, it works with only open windows, so you can minimize all the windows you don't want to arrange, then work with the rest, making these functions actually useful.
