Title: Windows 7 GodMode
Post by: BrianG on March 31, 2010, 09:35:32 pm
I'm just about to build a new W7 PC with a SSD drive and whilst looking at the OCZ drive forum for info on how to get the best etc. from SSD I found out about this:

By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.

The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.

To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:

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

Once that is done, the folder's icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options.

Has anyone tried this?  :grin:

No, it works fine, but there is no need to name the folder GodMode, you can type whatever you want followed by .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
