Windows 7′s GodMode is actually a shortcut to accessing the operating system’s various control settings.

Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden “GodMode” feature that lets users access all of the operating system’s control panels from within a single folder.
By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.
The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.

To enter “GodMode,” one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:

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

Once that is done, the folder’s icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options.

Minimize Windows Live Messenger to tray in Windows 7 http://blog.zurka.us/minimize-windows-live-messenger-to-tray-in-windows-7/ http://blog.zurka.us/minimize-windows-live-messenger-to-tray-in-windows-7/#comments Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:32:49 +0000 nasal http://blog.zurka.us/?p=852

If you are using Windows 7 and WLM (it comes with the Windows Live Essentials 2009) and you are reading this, it means that the fact that Messenger minimizes only to the taskbar instead of going into the traybar is bugging you.

There is a very simple trick to overcome this stupid thing. Follow these simple instrunctions.

1. Quit WLM (right click -> close)
2. Find WLM in the start menu (All programs – Windows Live – Windows Live Messenger)
3. Right click on it and click on Properties
4. Go to the compatibility tab
5. Click on “Run this program in compatibility mode for:
6. Select Windows Vista
7. Click on Ok and start WLM.

It should now normally minimize to the tray.
