Windows 7 God Mode

Thanks for the interesting info. When I finally, get around to upgrading to Windows 7 I'll have to give it a try. How long before someone posts about that "other" OS?

"How long before someone posts about that "other" OS?" You mean "Vista"? AKA "The OS with G o d d a m n Mode built-in"?

What I found interesting is that MS would title something "God Mode". So, instead of having GodMode. I put in "stupid." and the folder showed up the same way. The God Mode aspect of this is nothing but an invention and not something MS programmed into Win7. It looks like the hex code is what is important.

Seems that here are all the configurable options on W7, but it doesn't need to named GodMode, you can name as you want, just keep the extension, mine is SuperCP. I'm runnig both W7 64 & 32 bit oses and in my 64b install the explorer crash if I scroll to the end of the window with the scroll bar!

See Ed Bott's post about this: http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=2724 Nothing new (was in Windows XP InsideOut); removed for Vista and Win 7 to make room for interesting stuff. Particularly since everything found using it can be found with searches in Start Menu search. Also searches in the search box in Control Panel.

"Again, a Microsoft implementation of something that is so easy to use in that other OS. Just type in 'sudo' in terminal and hence, God Mode. Or even SuperGod-Mode" Wow, I didn't know you could aggregate all configurable options in OSX by typing "sudo" into the command prompt. I thought that was a elevation command. You can retract your snarky comment, if you would like.

I saw this "news" break yesterday, and thought, OK, so what good does this do me? And why call it God Mode? It's no where near what one would expect. It's just a different view of the control panel basically. Move along folks, nothing at all to see here...

The name GodMode is a misnomer. You can make it Cool Control Panel.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C Or Control Panel Plus.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C It does nothing more than expose direct links to existing functions in the control panel. Someone is having fun at our expense because we are laughing their a$$ off with discussions like this one going on.

Oh wow sudo I never knew gee thanks for pointing that out to us dll.sh**s. Glad to see the usual suspects are operating in douche bag mode, as usual.

I just finished playing with Goa'uld Mode and it's a pretty handy list, of things but nothing new, my eyes did get that cool glow though

FYI: To clarify Tayme's statement, I am not now nor have I ever been "the **official** Microsoft " anything on this blog comment area. In fact, despite my having a current connection to Microsoft Research, I have not been an "official" Microsoft spokesperson on anything since 2001. Tayme, of course, knows that.

My post was supposed to say that the doctor was told that 64 bit could NOT be configured [which obviously was NOT true]. Sorry for the confusing typo.

Thanks rr0de74, Wae said something similar. OUr guys just keep buying retail PC's, most of which are 64 bit, which seems to be the shipping OS for the we more robust PC that we need for PACS, a memory hog. I'm using all 32 bit myself, and suggest the same to others. I'll pass on the info. Thanks, Doc

@DRWAM People certainly don't help their cause by making wrong decisions when purchasing hardware, a small amount of research can go a long way towards avoiding dramas down the track.

@rrode,Doc, Backup: Of any software that won't run in 64-bit, you should check with your vendor. Anything that doesn't run in 64-bit isn't going to be even certified for Windows Vista. That's bad news, and will probably end up with a lot of support headaches when it comes to system stability issues in Windows even when you run in the vendor's supported 32-bit environment. The problem is not in the support of 32-bit, it's in the fact that the vendor isn't doing the proper work to get it certified on both platforms. Those vendors should be avoided like the plague, but large vendors are usually pretty good about getting apps certified. All in all, I recommend customers buy systems with 64-bit versions of Windows 7, because remember than XP Mode is always 32-bit. What I say is that, if the software doesn't work in 64-bit natively by now, it probably runs like crap (or not at all) in Windows Vista/7 anyway, so either use the Compatibility Mode feature, or fall back to XP Mode, but still use 64-bit on the host to get all the benefits of speed and memory support. For a cheap system with support for XP Mode, ignore Paul, and buy AMD. AMD Vision notebooks are extremely cheap. You can buy consumer systems, clean off the crapware, and load your corporate (or Anytime Upgrade version of) Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on em and still run XP Mode (make sure it has at least 3GB of RAM for 64-bit Win 7 + XP Mode). It's a lot cheaper than buying those business systems with Centrino crap for well over $1000. I look at Centrino/Core 2 Duo business systems and laugh, because they don't really give you anything special that you can't already get from an AMD Athlon II/Neo or Turion II/Neo system for 30-50% less money - and AMD offers hardware VT support across the board, unlike consumer Intel laptops, and every AMD system comes with much better video than Intel (they start with Radeon HD 3200 integrated, but you can often find the better 4200 chipsets or discrete video), so they make for decent HD video and gaming systems if you need a system for both work and play. The GMA4500MHD is garbage.

Thanks, I hear and obey. Those that consult me before they buy a new computer usually have less problems [until they carelessly attempt to set up practically anything... on all OS'es]. It's funny how they buy an expensive car, then complain about spending more than a $1000 on a half decent computer... something that needs up to 4GB of RAM to view large image files.

I will pass on the info Wae and let you know if we need you. Thanks.
