Talking about Windows 7, always make one think about the extensive new features and the awesome design of Windows with new styles and themes.

As the Title indicates, here I am going to write about one fantastic feature available in Windows 7 with the name “GodMode”.

What is GodMode ?

GodMode is basically a content folder consisting nearly all settings and modding options (Control Panel Options, Windows Settings Options, Performance Options, Display, Gadgets and much more other options). In total it allows you to perform 283 settings/modding actions.

Take a look at the screenshot I snapped from my GodMode:

GodMode can be created by adding a special set of characters to the folder name.

How To Enable GodMode in Windows 7 ?

To Enable GodMode in your Windows 7 system, all you need to do is to follow these simple steps:

• Create a New folder anywhere on your computer and name it as “GodMode”.
• Rename the folder again by adding “.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” ahead of “GodMode”
• The folder name must look like “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}“
• Hit Enter(Save it) with the above name, and you will have a new folder with name “GodModeGodMode” with a special icon :
  



• That’s it. Now you can enjoy your GodMode Content Folder!

The MSDN Library consist of many other canonical codes like “{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”, that could be used for generating such more folders on your system.

Like everyday, I was surfing around the web with my firefox and came across one of my favourite blog ghacks , that made me think to switch to Internet Explorer 8 again.

The cookies, within a browswer stores the login inormation of any session, which on a new login overwrites the previous cokkies content, and this make you cannot multiple login to the same site with more than 1 account.

Internet Explorer 8 overcome this problem , by introducing session cookies. Now, if you want to login to your gmail/hotmail/or any other web on different tabs on the same browser with different accounts, simply create different new sessions for each and every account.

A new process could be generated by clicking “New Session” under the file menu, as in the image.

Now, each time open a new tab and simply select a new session to login with a different account.

The basic tools provided with xp are sufficient and effecive enough to provide an excellent facility to earn some more hard disk space.

Increasing hard disk space is not difficult you think. The free space will be used to be temporary memory when RAM is insufficient to proceed and also Windows need to backup some system configuration and other information to System Restore (If a computer has some problems, it will need to use this system function.), so this way is related to your computer speed while using it. Fortunately, Windows XP and advanced Windows versions provides the tools to check and clear the unnecessary files and program in your computer such as temporary file created by Windows system while you are surfing Internet or any activity doing on your computer, many files in the Recycle Bin and any program that you don’t need to use them anymore.

Other reason to keep more space is to be capable to store more files and document you want. Therefore we have six ways to do. Ok, here are the tricks…..

1. Click on Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup, Now Windows XP has to calculate the space you will get after the process, then you can choose the file and program to clean them up and click OK button.

2. Clear all temporary files that you have never used anymore. The easiest way is to open the folder containing all the temporary file and delete them. Okay, follow the steps. Now you must close any program you are using and click on Start -> Run, then enter %temp% to open the folder and delete all files.

3. Removing unnecessary programs. Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs ,then uninstall any program you don’t want to use it again.

4. Windows needs to reserve the space for System Restore but it might be over for your computer, so we can decrease the space for System Restore. Don’t worry about this way, your computer will be working normally, we only decrease but not disable. Now right click on My Computer icon, then select Properties -> System Restore and click on Settings button to adjust the percent of space reserved by Windows. 4-5 percent is suggested.

5. Remove program coming with Windows XP after setting up it. These programs are hidden in the list of Add or Remove Programs. Therefore you must release them by clicking on Start -> Setting -> Control Panel -> Folder option, then select View tab and check the box that has the message “Show hidden files …”. Now go to Start -> Run and type inf then press Enter key to find the .inf file format. System will open new window and you can found sysoc.inf file in this folder. Double click on sysoc.inf file to open (Normally open with notepad). Find the program you want to remove and delete the text, hide, in the same line. Okay, you can see the program coming from Setting up Windows, go to Add and Remove Programs again and remove them.

6. Adjust the maximum size of Recycle Bin. Normally the Windows System reserve the hard disk space for Recycle Bin about 20% that is over for me and you, so we can decrease it to 5% and right away you get 15% more hard disk space.Right click on Recycle Bin icon on Desktop and choose Properties tab. Now you can adjust the size you want it to be.

So, did we used any other software? Nope…..try it yourself now and comment how much disk space you earned…..

FED UP OF FOLDER LOCK

–Lock FOLDER without any application

Ohh…its true. You can lock any folder without using any software. You have to follow certain rules:-

1.Suppose you have a folder named Akon in any drive, say D:/

2.In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statement
ren Akon Akon.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

3.Now save this text file as lock.bat

4.Create another notepad file and type
ren Akon.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} Akon

5.Save this as unlock.bat

6.Now there are two batch files . Double click lock.bat and your folder will change into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed. Even if you double click it, the inside is directed to control panel.

7.To open the folder double click unlock.bat and you get back your original folder .

8. For more safety keep the unlock.bat in another location, and only move it to same directory for unlocking and just double click. Or you can keep lock.bat on the other location just when needed, bring it back to the folder and lock it.
