Blogs How to enable Windows 7 God Mode

lol, saw that on OCn, i think it's just a hidden folder in windows search index for start menu quick searches.

therefore i don't see the point in creating such a folder, much easier to just do: Win key --> type the stuff you want.

 

Unless you don't know what stuff you want, then knowing all the options available might be helpful.

 

Or if you're just setting up someone's computer for the first time - instead of having to monkey up and down the masses of control panel categories.

 

In case anyone is stupid enought to try it on Vista 64, don't, as when I staggered in drunk the other night, saw this on CNet and thought I would try it, whilst not reading the bit about it crashing Vista 64.

What basically happened (or happened) is as soon as you rename the folder, all the icons on your desktop start flashing and basically the computer becomes inoperable. You can still shut it down though. It also exhibits the same behaviour in safe mode, and you can't access system restore through startup (recovery) to fix it !

But it works fine on my Win 7 64bit lappy !

 

So giving this a try when I get home.

 

Still on the first step to grow a big white beard.

 

i've got a mess of needing-to-be-trimmed beardage... therefore i declare myself Godly, WOOF! i shall give this a go.

P.S. I'm loving your blog section, especially when you guys revealed Ninite to me a few weeks back <3

 

OMG this is so cool. Thank you.

 

yeah folders in vista can use junction points.. you can name it whatever you want, doesn't have to be godmode- can be plonker.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

lol just rd it in cmd prompt

 

Godmode?
It's just a different way of viewing control panel (with fewer options).

 

yeah, it doesn't actually give you more options. Just different way of accessing them.

 

The different way of accessing them is by not going through context menus hidden throughout the OS. I think this should be a standard!

 

Just a note, there is also a few more of these:

The folder name can be changed by changing the text before the "."

-Hurgh-

 

Working fine here in 64bit

 

Can't use that folder name in my win7 64bit. It doesn't like the symbols.

 

what I would like is a way to sort the icons in the control panel vertically instead of horizontally. This pisses me off because every time I search for something it takes me 10times longer than usual because things aren't at the same place depending on the size of the window
argggggg

 

I am bumping this thread in hope someone has an answer to my question from the post above. I will only bump it once though

 

Cant you just change the view mode to small or large icons? It wont change it to a vertical layout but it will keep them all listed in alphabetical order enableing you to find things quicker.
