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»

Although most Windows software comes with an installation program, there can still be problems if you install or uninstall software. A failed installation can cause the installation not to be redone without clearing the failed installation. Unfortunately a failed installation can often not be undone, which means you are stuck with a chicken and egg situation.
Another common situation is when you installed a trial of a software product and after expiration you need to uninstall it before you can install a registered version. In case the uninstall process is not complete, chances are the software will keep on indicating the expired status.
If the standard uninstaller for the program does not work, you can try to manually remove the software. This means that the related files need to be removed from disk and all related configuration data needs to be removed. Some (older) software uses local configuration files that reside with the program in the installation directory, but most software will use the Windows registry to store configuration information.

Jason You may have created normal hidden folders in windows Xp and vista to store your private files , but these normal type of hidden folders in vista and windows Xp is quite old technique. As even if you create a hidden folder using this old technique almost every one or a normal windows user would know how to get access to that folder.
By simply going to Windows Explorer>>File Menu>>tools>>Folder Options>>view tab and check the radio option which says – “Show Hidden Files and Folders“.
But what if you can create a ultra hidden system folder which is not shown even if the above setting of Show Hidden Files and Folders is turned on or clicked. Read More»
