How to activate GodMode in Windows 7

[simnettpratt]

For all the geeks out there, here's how to activate GodMode in Windows 7.
Right click the desktop and select New, Folder. Name the folder (no spaces):
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Watch the icon change and fire it up! It's pretty cool.

There's also "MosesMode" but it only works with tablets.

Many things to do with operations of your computer. I had to look it up to see if I wanted to add it.

There's also Satan mode, but it only works if you have a chip implant.

Does the code in brackets need the brackets in the folder?

Does the code in brackets need the brackets in the folder?

I just copied and pasted it when I renamed the folder exactly how it was typed in the OP and it worked fine.

....more omni-potent than DOS ???

 

[simnettpratt]

Kevin, that was awesome!
tanless, it's not that it's omnipotent, it just puts a lot of user controls in one place so you don't have to navigate to them. For example, from one icon, you can:
Run system restore

Create and format partitions

View event logs

Edit group policies

Restore backups

Set the time and date

Manage your gadgets

Add a printer

Setup multiple monitors

Show hidden files and folders

Change IE's security settings

Delete your cookies and temp files
Etc etc etc. GodMode is misleading. It just allows you to access a whole host of administrator functions from a single place. If you're a tech, don't get too used to using it, because you can easily forget where to find something on a clients' computer!

That does sound good.
