Windows 7 "GodMode"

[Furryappleseed]

Pretty cool... don't know why I never heard of it before today.

Article Here

Windows 7 users are all abuzz about the OS and its GodMode. If you haven't heard of it, GodMode is a feature that was revealed by CNet's Microsoft Correspondent, Ina Fried. GodMode is a folder that brings together a long list of customization settings allowing you to change all your settings from one place. Neat huh? It's very easy to enable and damn useful if you tweak things around a lot.

I've broken it down into five-step process to avoid confusion:

Step 1: Right click.

Step 2: Click create folder.

Step 3: Name your sparkly, new folder this, "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" and press enter.

Interesting...maybe I'll try it tonight if I get bored

Oh man if you didn't tell me about this...

Now I'll keep messing with it until I break it so bad I have to reformat! DAMN IT!!

Cool stuff... I don't have Windows 7 yet. I sent the link to my Dad for him to try out (we got a him a new laptop for Christmas that has 7).

This is pretty cool but I'm afraid of screwing something up.

My Dad googled it... he won't try it either. But one article he read said you could name it anything, doesn't have to be GodMode.

I don't think it is anything real dangerous, just gives you one handy place for a lot of settings.

As I look at it it does seem pretty handy. It looks like all those tasks that I do once a year and can't remember how to get to are in that folder.

Seems like the programmers wanted to change the Win7 GUI further, but weren't allowed too. These shortcuts are just a way to get around the bloated window structure.

Do you think we would ever see anything like this form Apple?

Pretty cool. Just calibrated text and all sorts of groovy stuff.

Thanks for that one.
