At LSS we still use and recommend Windows XP for audio applications, but it is inevitable that soon enough new software will force the upgrade to the latest Windows 7 (without going through the horrible Vista).
When this happens we'll be glad that someone invented GOD MODE. This doesn't, as the name would suggest, give you eternal life, allow you to eat what you like without getting fat, and surround you with angels. No, technology hasn't got there yet.
What you get is much less, but it's still exciting to anyone that has to use a PC.
GodMode is the ultimate control panel: a single place from where every simple or advanced customisation can be made to your computer, without having to mess with registry settings, or battling stupid little control panels that try to prevent you from changing default settings.
The feature is so good that some suspect it might have been the hidden creation of someone working for Microsoft, who needed a personal shortcut. It certainly isn't advertised as a feature and when CNET tried to contact Microsoft to ask them about this hidden feature all they got was a "no comment".
So, how do you enable GodMode? It couldn't be easier...
Create a new folder and then change it's name to:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
It is important that the string is typed exactly as above (copy and paste to be sure, and don't have any spaces before or after).
The folder will change its appearance and it will now display GodMode as its name. Open it and you are your computer's God.
wicked!! :-p
