    this little trick puts a lot of settings and features all in one place so you don't have to go through a dozen different screens to access them all. this works in the 32-bit/64-bit versions of Windows 7 and ONLY in 32-bit Windows Vista (it'll f up your 64-bit Vista install for some reason)

     1. create a new folder (right-click the desktop > new > folder)

    2. rename it to "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" w/o the quotes

    3. profit!

    again...don't try this on vista 64-bit or you'll probably be screwed

    ...and that's why I don't want a Macintosh. I don't want to be "the guy who brings up that 'I'm on a Mac, so your topic of conversation doesn't apply to me'" guy.












    And yes, I said "Macintosh." What, are you people too cool to call them by their full name?

    Ok, so this may sound dumb but how do you figure out what "bit" you have? Looked at system information, but didn't see anything about bit.
