win7 "god mode"

[aedipuss]

hey a new trick showed up for win7 32bit. a way to get a heck of a lot of the controls available in one folder. this is only for win7 32bit & 64bit and vista 32, trying it on other o.s.'s may crash your machine

make a new folder and name it - GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

that's it. the folder icon will change and then check out what's inside.

[edited to reflect OS's supported]

Cool. I can confirm it works on 64-bit Win 7, too.

Thanks a lot for the tip.

hehe - you're one crazy dude. i sure hope you didn't try it on a production machine. i posted the warning because there are reports of the trick blue screening win7 64bit systems.

Works in 7-64, but not in Vista 64.
That was made for Vista, called Master Control Panel.
Thanks for bringing this up, aedipuss.
btw, you can try other names, instead of GodMode

**NB The ‘godmode’ works with both the 32 & 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Vista 32-bit, Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. ** However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista : you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder. Be warned..

There is a workaround for Vista 64, where you can get Master Control Panel also, Google for it.

Cool trick, but yes, you may want to avoid incurring His wrath, as He may have a few computer tricks of His own in mind for you.

Ha ha, pretty cool.

seems redmond released a list of other "special" tags to create other shortcuts.

Win7 64 bit here - and works great. WOW...love it. Thank you!!

[awhite2600]

Tried it on Windows 7 32-bit and works great! Thanks for sharing with us.

n.p. - i was just passing it on from something posted on /.

[aedipuss]

here's a small program from a tech site that creates all the g-mode folders for you, no more copying and pasting...

as an aside does folder #16 work for anyone? i get a regular folder instead of the region controls. it's got the correct code. not that i will miss them anyway.
