Want to activate GodMode in Windows 7? Here's how!
Windows 7 users are all abuzz about the OS and its GodMode. If you haven't heard of it, 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.
Step 5: Open the folder and bask in all your godly, control panel-y power.
it is hard to grasp mentally because I think logically....
blasphemy
The folder will be named whatever you put before the period.
Elephant.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Will give you an elephant control panel.
Neat non the less.
blasphemy
Shunn the nonbeliever...shunn
SelfDestructMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
It sure is harder to do
vim /etc/fstab
than
Godmode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Latter is much more intuitive. Indeed.

still, damn useful trick.
Wow, you need a secret "godmode" hack to be able to do something that MS should have put into the OS by default -- a clear, concise, all-in-one control panel.
Congratulations Microsoft, you show us how much disdain you have for the people who pay your salaries, and you fail once again.
Shows how much you know...
Jesus = God = Holy Spirit
It's called a Trinity. Three persons in One. One person in Three forms, yet one God. It's a hard one to grasp mentally, but you'll get it after a while.
I think the reason that this was not out and easy to get to is because the majority of people tend to not know what they are doing, so the last think MS wanted to do was make it so the user can potently screw things up. So having this activated by a special means puts the power in the hands of the ones who know how to use it or have the common sense to know how to use it.
