Windows 7 Has Lots of "God Modes"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-am-god-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Those intrigued by the 'GodMode' in Windows 7 may be interested to know that there are many other similar shortcuts hidden within the operating system — some going back to Vista or before. Steven Sinofsky, Windows division president, said several similar undocumented features provide direct access to all kinds of settings, from choosing a location to managing power settings to identifying biometric sensors."

    Come on Microsoft. Remember the problems you had with the EU over Documentation.

    Why don't you ever learn? Why don't you document everything and release it at the same time as the software?

    Other companies seem to do this quite well (release of docs, not its quality).

    Fail again.

    And, as a reminder, to create the Godmode folder itself, use this string:

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

    Yeah, that's really intuitive. Not.
