Windows 7 GOD MODE

Getting tired of looking for a well known option to configure your Windows 7 or Vista?

Hereunder a hidden functionality of Microsoft OS.

 

To enter "GodMode," you only need to create a new folder and then rename it to the following:

 

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

It's not a revolution, but it may help you save some time, instead of digging the whole system to find out a particular option.

Very cool! A great way to get directly to the sub-menu you need without digging through many menu layers. Search works on this too to get right to the needed option.

Amazing! It doesn't offer anything that you can't find yourself (unlike the PowerToys app for XP) but it's still great becuase of the speed to get to the items!

Not quite on topic, but it still shows how "God" Windows 7 can be:
