Windows 7 - GodMode

Here's a little trick that let you access to almost 300 different settings for your Windows 7 32 and 64bits versions, Vista 32 bits works too (careful when using in 64 bits).



  1. Create a new folder (Ctrl+Shift+N) anywhere in your PC
  2. rename it with this: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (you can change the GodMode part with anything you want)
  3. Then just double click the new icon created



GodMode in action




Hope this helps !

Short tip for enabling check boxes on Windows 7

When you are selecting multiple items on Windows 7 it could be difficult to keep pressed the Ctrl-Key and clicking in each items (if you are selecting multiple non-secuential items that is), and what happens when you click somewhere else ? You deselect your already selected items.

Selecting files
Windows 7 has an alternative for this, and one that helps a lot.

Enabling Check Boxes to select items.

  1. Click the Start button
  2. Type Folder Options and hit enter
  3. Go to the View tab
  4. Search near the bottom of the Advanced settings area for Use check boxes to select items and enable it.

And thats it !
