Kai — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:36:17 +0000

Windows 7 interface is rather clean and minimalist. Of course, you can find everything you need in the famous and well-known Control Panel. However this solution won’t allow you to see and easily use all those nested settings included in the main options. Did you know that you can become a God? Well, at least on Windows 7!

1. Right click on any bank space on your desktop.
2. Click new from the menu and create a New Folder.
3. Rename the folder as follow: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
4. DO NOT use this trick on Vista 64X and Windows 7 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 via a handy GUI!
