Seems useful

Windows 7 & 8 trick that can get you one-button access to all the settings and controls available. (Haven't had time yet to create the utility.)

If you don't read IMPORTANT NOTES on web pages, hopefully you read them on Eileen's Lounge :evilgrin:
UPDATE ***READ THIS BEFORE YOU TRY***: For some reason, copying & pasting from the YouTube details does not work for all systems. Either it flat-out fails or Windows creates an extra "-" (hyphen) symbol in the code between the 4 & 3 in the last bit of the code. If you can't get it to work by copying and pasting, type out the code by hand and it should work just fine.

The incorrect code: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-9971204­-3E01C}

The correct code: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

I see Rudi can type faster than I can...

For those (like me) to lazt to watch the video, the comment tells you all you need to know:
right click on the desktop
create a new folder
name the folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
and you're done.

HOWEVER, if you copy & paste the folder name from above you have to watch out that Windows doesn't add an extra hyphen between the 4 & the 3 towards the end of the sequence.

Not sure I'll ever need it now I've got it though.

Name the folder whatever you wish before the period. Could be

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

Thanks, Dennis. Created the folder, no problem. Randomly tried a few of the items and it worked fine. Should be a handy little tool. :thankyou:
