GodMode Creator for Windows 7 and Vista

GodMode for Windows had been the buzz Online for a couple of weeks now, some blogger claiming GodMode to be a newly found out trick and others claiming to be nothing new – and for all freaks out here, it seems enjoying for most!

Though making GodMode is no brainer, windows7club.com had introduced a more innovative and user friendly way of implementing GodMode on your SYSTEM.

Description [via Softpedia]

The GodMode Creator aplication was designed to be a freeware utility which lets you create 38 “GodModes” in Windows 7 & Vista, 32-bit, with a click. There is nothing magical about the GodMode. Windows has a set of certain folders which are identified by unique strings referred to as CLSID or Windows Class Identifiers.

These folders can be accessed by using the CLSID identifier codes that Windows assigns to each individual folder in the Windows Registry. If you know the codes, you can launch these with ease. 

In short, GodModes are nothing but developer shortcuts built into Windows 7 & Vista, that enable easy access to certain settings and information about the operating system. Using GodMode Creator, you can create these shortcuts easily. Simply click on the desired button and it will create the Special Folder or “GodMode” shortcuts on your desktop.

Turbo Boost Your Internet Speed with Opera 10

Opera Turbo,is a new compression technology that solves the pain of slow connections especially in our country India. If your network speed slows to a crawl, simply enable Opera Turbo to browse the Web at broadband-like speeds. Opera Turbo will automatically detect when network speeds will enable you to benefit. Once you turn it on, Opera Turbo instantly compresses pages, so less data needs to be transferred over a limited connection. So take the Opera Turbo test drive today.

According to a White Paper
Opera Turbo will be able to compress network traffic by up to 80%. The benefits of Opera Turbo should be obvious. The service will save businesses bandwidth, speed up web surfing for clients and reduce costs thanks to the reduced bandwidth requirements. The main Achilles’ heel of Opera Turbo is the requirement to use Opera software to make use of the technique. Opera currently has a web browser market share of about 1% which means that about 99% of all Internet users will probably never be able to test Opera Turbo. Existing Opera users on the other hand might be able to benefit from Opera Turbo as Opera has the intention to utilize the technique into the Opera web browser and Opera mobile browser.

[How to] Disable Libraries in Windows 7

If you had switched from either XP or Vista to Windows 7, you get an interesting feature called Libraries. In Short Libraries enable you to organize files by using metadata about the file, such as author, date, type, tags, and so on—instantly. You’re not limited to just browsing files by folder hierarchy. When you save files in a Library, Windows 7 indexes the files. You can use Library features like the Arrange By control to instantly browse the files in the Library by metadata or use the Search Builder, which is built into the Search box in Windows Explorer, to instantly search the files in the Library by metadata.

These features are only available in Libraries and are real productivity boosters. For example, Libraries can help you find a file based on something you remember about it such as what type of file it is, who wrote it, or when it was last modified. Libraries can prevent the need for you to drill into many levels of folder hierarchy to find a file.

Library icons are always visible on the Windows Explorer, if for some reasons you find this feature quiet annoying - Just download the registry files and add it to your registry by double clicking on the registry files. I have also included a restore script, incase if you wanna turn back.

Terminate Running Apps before Shutting Down

If Windows cannot end a running task when shutting down, it requests the user to do so. This query is redundant in most cases and is not really required since you want to end the respective task anyway.

 

 

• Go to Start | Run
• Type regedit and click OK. Vista users can directly enter the command in the search line of the Start menu and press [Enter]. 
• Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop key.
• The AutoEndTasks value is given towards the right side of the window. If it is not given, create it by selecting Edit | New| Character string and name the entry AutoEndTasks. Open it and enter the Value Data as 1. Click on OK and restart the system. 

This setting exclusively suppresses the operating system's query if it cannot end a task while shutting down. It does not reduce the time for which Windows waits until the task ends and thus does not really accelerate the process of system shutdown.
