Windows 7 operating system comes with several in-built Administrative tools
for managing hard drive partitions, adjusting firewall settings, managing
schedules tasks, starting and stopping system services and so on. The default
way to access these tools is through a link present in the "System and Security”
section of the Control Panel. Another way to access them is by typing the name
of the administrative tool or "Administrative Tools” directly into the Start
Menu.
The administrative tools sections includes computer management, task
scheduler, system configuration, and more..
If you use these tools often, you will actually find it
easier to add a link to these tools through the "All Programs" menu in the Start
Menu.

1.
First, Right-click on an empty area on the taskbar of the Windows
