I think it works in vista, defiantly in 7. It has all the settings in one. To do this, go to your desktop, make a new folder, and call it
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

don't do this on Vista. it crashes Explorer.

And if that is what it was SUPPOSED to do, it would have been nice to have a little warning, you know, so I could keep the last 2 hours of work I did.

Although, I actually didn't lose anything... but only because I had command prompt open. And it took some doing. I had to manually remove the folder myself. meanwhile, explorer is crashing every time it restarts.

EDIT: OK, it's not supposed to crash, it works in windows 7.

It crashes windows Vista explorer though.

Windows 7 "God Mode" Mythbusting

http://wingeek.com/articles/40507/windows_7_quot;god_modequot;_mythbusting/

Quote

The tweak of the day everyone is talking about is the so called Windows 7 "God Mode." Simply create a new folder, call it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and you will have a shortcut to every setting on your computer. Sounds great right? The problem is no new features or settings are exposed. Only a list of tasks that can be accomplished within Control Panel that Windows 7 and Vista use for start menu and control panel search.

The feature is not actually even called God Mode but All Tasks. Since the All Tasks feature is simply a shell folder you can access it a few different ways. The most direct method is to open up Explorer and type in shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} in the address bar and hit Enter. Alternatively, create a folder and name it anything.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

At one point during the Windows 7 betas this feature was even exposed to users as All Tasks but hidden in the final releases. That caused me to do some extra editing on the final review of my Windows 7 Tweaks book.

In this case someone named the folder GodMode which sounds like a secret feature burried deep within Windows. In reality its just another shell folder. If you need to change a setting simply search for it in the Start Menu. That is what this feature was actually designed for.

Although if you are the kind of person that likes to navigate through a list of 279 tasks instead of simply typing in what you need try out this even better backdoor secretly created by the president of the Windows division. Create a new folder and name it: SinofskyBackdoor.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

I dont have vista to test it on, but someone else told me it worked on there. Sorry BC.

Yeah, I've seen this all over the web. Sorry, I prefer Control Panel.

Big Red Warning!

The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.

awww come on!!! I always used the cheats to blow through all those classic games the first time around...then I would go back and beat 'em the old fashioned way with no cheats...

AND SAVING EVERY 10 SECONDS/NEW ROOM...

I miss Heretic. Actually, believe it or not, no other game's audio has ever startled me as much as the original Wolfenstein 3-D. They totally got the stereo separation right on that...To this day, I still jump when I hear "ALAAAM, ALAAAM!" and "MEIN LEIBEN!"

Ah, the good old days...*censored*, I AM old...

I will cease and desist if you so desire...
