  • Heres a little trick I just picked up hopefully it helps out some of you admins too:

    Enable Windows 7 / Server 2008 GodMode

    GodMode is a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.

    Instruction:

    • Create a new folder.
    • Rename the folder to:
      GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

    • The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window.
      Note: you can change the “GodMode” text, but the following 'period' and code number are essential.

    WARNING: The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.
