Windows God mode 7

I received information from a web site on the Windows 7 God Mode...

Although its name suggests capabilities may be even more grandiose, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "GodMode" feature which allows users to access all of the operating system control panels of in a single folder.

In creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming by a string of text at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the appearance of the mouse pointer to a new hard drive partition.

The thing is supposed to also works in Windows Vista, although some cautioned that, although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit operating system versions to crash.

To enter "GodMode", one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder in the following:
GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Once this done, the folder icon changes to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options. I'm not sure it's my idea of playing God, but it is a convenient way to get to all types of controls.

Can someone please give more details on this... Because I couldn't see Microsoft say this as a feature... so is safe to do?

There is no GodMode, you create a new folder that points to a special destination (copntrol Panel option). This is possible for more than 10 years ;)

Create a folder surprise. {} ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} , then click on it. What do you get? The personalization page. As you can see that it is nothing special.

  • God Mode on a computer with Windows 64-bit Vista

    A friend told me about the "God Mode in WIndows 7 and said it could also be used in WIndows Vista.  I decided to study the issue and after reading a bit on it, I created an empty folder and renamed it according to an article in the "GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} ».  The folder turned without doing me anything him or adding all files.  I then tried to open the file and my system crashed.  I had been using the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer so long that I forgot that the OS is 64-bit.  I was finally able to open the 64-bit version of IE even if Windows Explorer crashes whenever I start the computer.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to restore my system?

    Start with a startup repair disk and use system restore to restore the system to a point before that you did.

    Boot with a startup repair disk (or another disk to start 'Live' who can see the file system) and use the command prompt to delete the GodMode folder

  • Tungsten T3 Hot Sync in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and WIndows XP mode

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and now my Palm T3 will not be synchronized.  I downloaded desktop 4.1.4e 6.3 and 4.1.4. I tried all three in both windows 7 and windows XP mode that tells me is a 32-bit o/s but I'm really not sure.  I tried to hot sync in bluetooth in windows 7, as the T3 and laptop connect but he always tells me that the port is used by another program? Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to sync or am I've sentenced to throw my faithful T3 out? Any ideas?

    Hello eaglesfan723 and welcome to the forums of Palm.

    The Tungsten T3 HotSync driver is not 64-bit capable, this is why you can't get the T3 to HotSync.  Please read this thread to learn more about your options with Windows 7.

    Hello

    I guess that this is caused by the graphics chip, it is possible that caused graphics card driver problems related to bad entries in the registry or in the worst case the graphics chip could badly run.

  • Windows XP mode / Windows virtual PC

    I have to support some programs LV7.1 (and newer versions).  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit edition.  LV7.1 loads and runs, but the drivers disk pours on the 64-bit operating system.  (This was not unexpected...)

    The new PC he has an Intel processor supporting Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode.

    I need to upgrade to W7 Pro, but before I do, I want to get some feelings that it will work.  If older NIDaq, MAX, etc. Install OK in XP mode?  If someone has done this?  Is there another solution which is better?

    Hi John,.

    NOR-traditional DAQ won't work on Windows 7 64-bit at all, even if you install the (very limited) driver beta OR - traditional DAQ 7.5.   I do not work with LabVIEW license much (data acquisition is my spring) but I understand that you can have different versions on different computers.  If this is the case, you must use OR-DAQmx 9.0.2 with LabVIEWs 8.2.1 and 8.5.1 8.6.1.  NOR-DAQmx 9.0.2 is the first version 'officially' supported on Windows 7, both 32 - and 64-bit.  As long as you use a 32-bit version of LabVIEW (which, if you're not using LabVIEW 2009, it will be inherently 32-bit) you binaries will work fine.

    Note: When I say "as long as you use a 32-bit version of LabVIEW' I do not mean a version that does not work on a 64 bit OS.  This section of the knowledge base, LabVIEW 64-bit vs 32-Bit Applications FAQ, explained part of the difference.  The main thing to keep in mind is that because Windows Vista and Windows 7 can emulate 32-bit programs to 64-bit well enough, you can still use a version of LabVIEW which is only 32-bit on a 64-bit computer.

    I don't know the number of tests we did install older versions of LabVIEW as 8.2.1 on Windows 7, but I guess it should work fine.  I would recommend this install it:

    1. LabVIEW 8.2.1
    2. LabVIEW 8.5.1
    3. LabVIEW 8.6.1
    4. Boxes to tools or modules of the foregoing
    5. NOR-DAQmx 9.0.2

    I hope this helps!

    Windows XP mode (Virtual PC) is not designed for players. "Windows XP Mode is best suited for older applications business such as accounting, inventory and similar applications. Windows XP Mode is not intended for consumers because much of consumer applications requires a use extensive physical interfaces, such as 3D graphics, audio and TV tuners, which don't work well under virtualization today. "(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/faq.aspx)

    You should play games XP in your environment from Windows 7, if necessary, install and play with these two compatibility settings (right click on Configuration and resp. game.exe > properties): 'For Windows XP SP3 Compatibility Mode' and 'run as administrator '. Some games need special corrections or methods to make them run, though, as too much has changed since their original release. Other games work without all these questions.

  • Problem of Windows 7 mode and Virtual PC XP

    A few months ago, I bought a laptop. It was the vista operating system. I was told I could easily upgrade to Windows 7 Professional and activate the XP mode, so that I can run some of my business software that can only run in XP mode. They gave me a free upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium with the purchase of my new laptop computer.

    Yesterday, my upgrade from Windows 7 Home premium arrived. I installed and then bought the online upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. After professional installation, I tried to activate Windows XP mode and I discovered that my Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessor does not support virtualization technology to run windows XP mode 7.

    The place I bought the laptop has agreed to take my laptop and give me a refund. My question is how can I make sure that I don't have to pay for him any time upgrade to the professional version when I get my new computer with the right type of microprocessor?

    Being understood that the question and your post has nothing to with Windows Update features (compared to the upgrade of Windows), see Windows XP Mode requirements article here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7

    If return you the computer to Vista & then go to Win7 Home Premium, you should be able to use the Win7 Pro Upgrade Anytime to another eligible computer.

  • Problems with USB devices in Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 Pro

    I have a Palm Zire 21 that I use with ACT! Contact Manager to keep track of my appointments.  I was able to sync the Palm with my ACT database until this week. The device appears on the list of USB devices, but does not connect to Windows XP mode.

    I used this device in XP Mode since August without any problem.  Last week, I started having problems with the integration of XP features and had to uninstall and reinstall the integration features a few times.  I think I have a corrupted somewhere driver.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    No need to comment unless you have more insight.

    I solved the problem myself.  In XP mode, I went to the Device Manager and scroll down to USB controllers.  A virtualization USB bus drivers showed a problem.   I uninstalled this device and then managed to reinstall my Palm correctly after connecting it to the USB port, and then going back to the menu at the top of the XP USB mode screen and hit connect when I saw my camera.  The device connected in XP automatically and I was off to the races.

  • Screen of Microsoft Update crashes Windows XP mode

    I have Windows Virtual PC in Windows 7 Pro, and I test it with Windows XP Mode before I use it for Ubuntu Linux.

    In the test, I went through the normal routine with Windows XP Mode, installation of updates; but after the first activation of Windows Update, after which, I installed Microsoft Update, the update screen freezes for 9 to 10 minutes, the message «Check if your computer has the latest version of Windows Update software for use with the site...» " until he goes to the next screen, 'Welcome to Microsoft Update'.  I also noticed that, even though the download process seems normal, the installation process is exceptionally more time that I expect anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes for each of the bigger files.

    Is it a file in XP Mode which could trample the day opening screen, or is it one of my programs in Win7 that could be the cause (though I doubt it)?  I miss an ActiveX program or any program, by the way?  Or do I have too many?  Or should I simply rub the file in XP Mode, I installed and install a new one in its place, since I'm in the early stages of Windows Update?

    Someone directed me to KB2879017 Cumulative Update for Windows XP.  Once installed, it updates automatic galvanized WinXP.  Once I added KB898461, Internet Explorer 8, KB905474 and KB892130, I was able to get more updates via Windows/Microsoft Update.  The update process wouldn't properly unless I installed these files in the order that I posted here.  I had to load KB2879017 from a USB flash drive.  The rest came through automatic updates.
