    Novelty tweak for Windows 7

    From http://www.tomshardware.com/news/GodMode-Windows-7-How-to,9345.html
    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.

    Step 4: Blink as the folder changes form to look like the control panel.

    Careful with this if you're running Win 7 64 bit, lots of people have been having problems with it although 32 bit is fine, and it works fine on my 64 bit Win 7.

    no it works fine on windows 7 32 and 64-bit. the prob is with vista. it causes explorer to crash for 32/64-bit. can't remember which one.

    it's not tweaks as such. it just gives a list of all commands that you can access in the control panel. say if you want to create a system restore point but can't find it in control panel then use godmode. it doesn't really tweak win7
