Windows 7 God Mode

Blagalot

Right click on any blank space on your desktop.

Click new from the menu and create a New Folder.

Rename the folder as follow: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

DO NOT use this trick on Vista 64X. It will cause your Windows to crash!

This simple command will create a special shortcut to the God Mode option letting you access all Windows 7 functions.

:cool:

Another couple of articles about it, it really isn't a great deal to shout about but kind of interesting for a second or two.

What does it offer than can't be accessed through control panel/device manager etc?

I'm struggling to see any usefulness.

Makes you wonder what other things Microsoft have hidden from view.

An easy Microsoft route to doing something? makes my Macs look old-fashioned --- NOT!

On some computers if you press down as many keys as possible it will make a really loud beeping sound regardless of the volume level on your speakers.

Those who object to something being called God Mode (which anyway seems to be just a teeny, weeny, exaggeration), will be pleased to know you can call it anything you like. FishFingers, Gladys, and so on - be creative!

There is a whole bunch of these "Special Folders", such as the following for XP:

The only one I've ever used is for Control Panel!

(Interesting how careful the OP was to avoid giving a reference, thus giving the impression that he worked it all out for himself...)

Thanks for those JG.

I can't help but notice how careful you were to avoid giving a reference, did you work them all out for yourself?
