Windows GodMode

[Mike]

Just stumbled across this earlier today.

This is just a nifty thing that puts all the control panel settings in one easy list.

1. Create a new folder
2. Rename it:

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

"GodMode" can be anything your heart desires as long as the name is followed by .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Done

Not exactly new, or earth shattering, but it is handy. Makes finding shit in Windows easier / faster.

Thanks, that's badass.

Does anyone know a way to separate files like this in these sections, but custom sections such as: client1, client2, client3, programs, ect

I believe you can. I did see an article somewhere that talked about ways to use "GodMode" and organize it as you see fit. Can't find it now though. Sorry.

I couldn't find it, but I found this. I haven't tested it:


Windows 7’s “GodMode” was discovered by bloggers and confirmed by Microsoft as a group of developer “shortcuts” built into Windows 7 that enable easy access to certain settings and information about the operating system. The “GodMode” view displays every Windows setting in one very organized Window. In order to access this view, simply create a folder with a name and a special string after it. The folder doesn’t have to be called “GodMode,” although that is the popular name given to it by the blogosphere. The "GodMode" list of control panels and wizards makes accessing settings easier by presenting them all in one location.

To manually create each folder, follow the steps below.

1. Choose where the "GodMode" folder will be located and create a New Folder.

2. Give the folder a desired name, then a period, and then the following string: {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. The following will now be available:



Microsoft has provided additional strings, and the below table illustrates what each does. To create all of these folders at once, download the attached batch file and run it from the location the special folders will reside. Deleting these folders does NOT affect Windows and will NOT delete the control panel or any settings. However, the functions and features of each folder are to be used at one's own risk!

I'm no programmer, but I do believe you have to do it through a Windows Shell script of some sort.

pretty bad (censored) thanks for the share. Leave it to microsoft to hide useful stuff. Anyone know of any other WIN7 Easter eggs?

I had a couple minutes while waiting in a Skype conference and found this. It might not be exactly what you're looking for but maybe a start in the right direction.

Also, Godmode comes in handy on Windows7. Gives you very quick access to everything which I like.

 

[Paper_Chase]

Hmmmm....I've found this works better:

Start > Run "format c:"

 

[everlonglp3]

Windows still sucks.

Not an Easter Egg, just a little batch file I found that I use to create lists of folder or drive contents.


Just open any text editor and paste this in it:



dir %1 /-p /o:gn /B > "%temp%\Dir Listing"
start /w notepad "%temp%\Dir Listing"
del "%temp%\Dir Listing"




Then save it as List.bat or whatever.bat


Just copy and paste it into anyplace you want a list printed out of the contents and just double click it.


P.S. Yes, I KNOW...... it puts ITSELF in the list as well. :SIGH: lol
