Windows 7 RTM GodMode

January 05, 2010 by Jason

Despite Windows 7 RTM God Mode (GodMode), fact is that Windows client deities are in short supply. Various reports are making the rounds on blogs, news websites, tweets etc. of a so called Windows 7 GodMode. Now, while undoubtedly geeks everywhere are already familiar with the Super Administrator account hidden in Windows, a GodMode undoubtedly holds untold promises of a new level of control over the latest iteration of the Windows client. And if it sounds too good to be true, then it’s because it is.

“Enabling” GodMode in Windows 7 essentially requires end users to perform a small trick. On the desktop, or in a Windows Explorer location, users will need to create a new folder and subsequently name/rename it to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. After the new label is set, the folder’s generic icon will change to one specific of the control panel. Opening the new folder will deliver access to a list of Control Panel items rearranged alphabetically in accordance with master categories such as Action Center, Administrative Tools, AutoPlay, Backup and Restore and so on and so forth. Each item on the list can be double clicked to launch the specific feature or tool that it designates. Read More»

Windows 7 free for 120 days

August 20, 2009 by Jason

There’s an easy way to stretch Windows 7’s 30-day free-trial period to 120 days so you can determine whether Microsoft’s new operating system meets your needs.

Even better if you know the secret you can try out any version of Win7, from Ultimate to the lowly Basic, using a single install disc.

It’s fair to say that by now hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of copies of Windows 7 sit on DVDs and hard drives all over the world. You might have downloaded a copy of Win7 from the official sites: Microsoft Developer Network, TechNet, or Software Advantage. Perhaps you hooked up your machine to a torrent or a newsgroup site to download the new OS. Or maybe you snagged a copy from your tech-savvy sister-in-law.

Whichever channel you use, if you don’t already have a copy of Windows 7, you can easily put your paws on the installation bits and burn your own install DVD. Just be sure what you downloaded is the real, shipping version of Windows 7. One way to confirm this is to use a set of checksum verification instructions found on Pctipsbox. Read More»
