There has been some buzz in the last few days about a feature in Windows 7 called “God mode”. Well, it doesn’t empower you as a God but allows you to access all the nested features available in Control Panel from a single entry point. All you have to do is creating a folder (or renaming an existing one) with the name GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
Create a folder with the name GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAfter the folder was created\/renamed its icon changes to the icon used for Control Panel.
\n
\"\"
Same icon as Control Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>

\"\"
Start menu results for "defrag"<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nOf course, in this later case, one needs to know what to search for, but in general that should not be a problem.<\/p>\n

This feature also works in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, but it is reported<\/a> that is crashes with Vista 64 bit.<\/p>\n

This feature only works from Windows Explorer. It is not available from tools like Total Commander or FreeCommander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
