Thurrott mentioned it in his twitter...so just passing this to you all

http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/pa...7-god-mode.aspx

Create a new folder (right-click and click on ?New Folder?). Right-click on the folder and click on rename, copy and paste this: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

What comes up is a Control Panel like window with sections for Action Center ("Check security status" and so on), Administrative Tools, and AutoPlay.

Sorry..Already posted here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=861196

It isn't actually called "god mode." It's a virtual folder called All Tasks (open it with shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} to get the real name) that I believe is used internally by Windows to allow you to search for tasks. It isn't supposed to be used directly, and doesn't give you access to anything you don't already have access to in the Control Panel. Its usefulness seems very limited to me, and I'm not even sure why it's getting so much attention now when it was actually created years ago for Vista.

I think it's a good thing also! I have installed the applet called 'Default Programs Editor' which allows you to edit the icons for filetypes and their descriptions, and other things, and in GodMode, they're all in a nice convenient list, so I don't have to make all the clicks in the single program. I've just changed the name to SuperControl Panel.

For example:

1. It's nice to have a direct link to Advanced Appearance Properties dialog, and even just for changing the background image or the Aero glass color. Or the Show or Hide common icons on the Desktop. That's under the 'Personalization' grouping of shortcuts.

2. You can drag any of the shortcuts to your Desktop or to your taskbar.

Just a warning: Don't try that in Vista.

Explorer.exe got stuck in an infinite crash loop; had to reboot into safe mode and remove the folder via command prompt

:(

I'm gonna take a shot. You're running 64-bit Vista, right?

To get rid of this issue run cmd and copy paste this command and hit enter:

rd ?Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}?

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
