    If anyone missed this nice thing called GodMode for Windows 7 here it is:

    Create new folder anywhere.
    Rename it to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

    Done!

    I am not saying what this does as I want you to find for yourself.

    Godmode supposedly doesn't work in Windows 7 64-bit. I wonder why.

    It's a folder with shortcuts. You can just click start>search and get those shortcuts anyway.

    I didn't say it's useless, I am just saying it's a bit of a tease. You read "godmode" and you expect something more substantial.

    the one you want to access, you most likely remember, as it's named after what you want to do.

    True indeed. I still think the folder is a nice thing. Having EVERYTHING in one place is pretty cool.

    Create a folder and then rename it to the following:

    GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

    The folder becomes a Control Panel with TONS of options that aren't available together like this anywhere else.

    Apparently it does work on the 32bit version but not the 64. I have not personally verified this so as always - investigate at your own risk.

    I just came over here to post instructions on how to do this...

    Its worked for me under Windows 7 64 but not Windows Vista 64 (didn't result in a locked computer, just resulted in an oddly named folder).

    Its nice to have all this in one place, reminds me of the control pannel under Windows 2000 for functionality.

    Tried this on my m15x running Vista 32 Bit. Everything's working fine ;)

    You don't really have to name the folder GodMode, I named mine differently and it still works.

    Switches.... put anything (godnessmode, hackersmode, nothingmode, invisiblemode)+ a dot (.) following the switches gives you specific folder on windows 7 32bit or 64bit.

    By the way, does anybody know what the name for these things is? They remind me of certain reference objects in Visual Studio, but the name escapes me.
