read that. if you want to be able to create a shortcut to most of the cool control panel settings without having them scattered all over creation you can use this handy tool to make one shortcut for all...

the original "godmode" folder key is made like this:

first, in an easy to remember location, create new folder.

name the folder godmode.

after the period add this string {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

folder name should be godmode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

then hit enter

double-click this new folder and let your jaw drop.

yes, i know i am awesome!

enjoy!

You would be even more awesome if I hadn't already posted it (http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163384648.msg1123001546.html#msg1123001546).  :D

There are apparently more such modes. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10426627-56.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20)

I was sure you hadn't, I was just teasing.

I put it in the pinned "hint" thread so it would stay visible over the long term where more people would see it but expected that someone would not see it there and post it again.  I just didn't know who.
