Sweet -- God Mode on Windows Vista, Windows 7

Ok, so this is pretty cool.  A hidden feature was just revealed in Windows Vista and in Windows 7.

 

If you are running either one of these operating systems, create a new folder (anywhere should work) and name it exactly as follows:

 

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

 

Once you’ve renamed it, you’ll see its icon change.  Double click it and welcome to ‘GodMode’.

 

If it works for you, let me know in the comments below.  I’ll add a screenshot shortly.

For those who really want to know what this is before doing it, basically its just a much more convenient replacement for the standard 'control panel'. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10423985-56.html --a welcome feature, at least for my Vista machine, as I've always hated digging around in Control Panel for particular settings. One of the few true dislikes I have for Vista.
