Cool Windows 7 trick - (also with vista)

Don`t know if this has been posted here before but found this on another board.



Interesting Windows 7 Trick
________________________________________
Want a centralized control panel for all of window's settings? Use GodMode:

To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

I tried this with Win 7 x64 and it worked. I created the folder on the desktop. Works with Vista as well.






Helpful to have all your settings in one big list - hopefully some here will find it useful.

A couple of other sites explaining this:

It does not give you any more powa ... it just puts all the important controls in one place.
Very handy!

Done.

I don't like having folders on the desktop so I created the Godmode folder elsewhere and placed a shortcut on the desktop.

Thanks Dave. I now have a GodMode Control Panel on my desktop.

I know it works fine on our vista (32 bit ) laptop - but I just read that it might cause crashes on Vista 64 bit

Yea Phil I dont like folders on the desktop either, but when you re-name the folder it transforms automatically into a control panel icon
