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.

[How-To] Disable low disk space message

When your system hard disk is running out of space, Windows will pop up a small message indicating that there is less disk space in your system. This pop-up message can come in handy but may even get annoying at a particular point of time. Aside from being annoying. Windows Vista's constant checking for low space uses system resources which slow down Windows. Hence here's a small registry tweak that can turn off the low disk space in Windows Vista.

• Click Start, and type regedit in the search box and then hit Enter key.
• Browse to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion registry key.
• Select Policies key under CurrentVersion.
• From the Registry Editor menu, click Edit | New | Key. The key will be named New New Key #1 by default.
• Change the name of the key to Explorer and press Enter.
• While the Explorer key is still selected, click Edit | New | DWORD(32-bit) Value. The DWORD Created beneath Explorer, will be named New Value #1 by default.
• Change the DWORD to NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
• Right-Click on the new NoLowDiskSpaceChecks DWORD and select the Modify option.
• In the value data, type 1.
• Click OK and close the Registry Editor. Windows Vista will no longer pop up the low disk space warning.

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.

Check for Hard Disk Failure with Ease

Be honest. In the digital era where bits and bytes have the day, does anyone really think about which tasks are performed by the hardware found in your typical computer? Integrated hardware components, in particular highly delicate hard drives, are hard at work every day. As long as the drive is functioning properly, you are lulled into a false sense of security. However, when the trusted hard drive suddenly fails, this is more than just a minor inconvenience. The resulting loss of data is often immensely damaging. Ashampoo HDD Control is therefore ideally suited to boost the performance of your drive, guard against disk failure and remove clutter from your hard drives, while performing all three functions of monitoring, maintenance and defragmentation.

The Ashampoo HDD Control software performs hard disk maintenance for you. This involves taking measures to prevent potential failures and crashes before they occur. Towards this end, the program combines several functions available for the first time in this particular configuration.

Monitoring
The software supports all commonly available IDE and serial ATA drives. Please note, however, that devices connected to the system via USB, firewire or RAID controller often do not support this function. Based on the type of drive in use, Ashampoo HDD Control provides the user with all important facts and information, including the firmware version, number of configured partitions, drive space and current temperature. As the number of signs indicating that the drive could soon potentially fail begins to mount, the background guard signals an alarm. If you are not near your computer, the program can be set up to notify you of the alert by email. In the final report, the program also provides information on the health and performance of the hard drive shown in percentages.

Maintenance
Over time, an ever-growing number of unwanted and unneeded files accumulate on your hard drive and Ashampoo HDD Control is a useful tool to help you locate and delete these files. Temporary files, files in the recycling bin and backup copies are all removed. In addition, the software empties the cache, clears the browsing history and erases cookies from the Internet browser.

Defragmentation
An empty space appears when you delete a file from your hard drive. This gap is then filled the next time a file is saved to disk. If not enough space is available to store the complete file in this space, it is broken up into fragments. Windows in turn saves these at different locations on the hard drive in order to make best use of the available gaps. For this reason, it is easy to understand why the computer takes longer to read the file, since it first of all needs to locate and assemble all the separate fragments. With its defragmentation module, Ashampoo HDD Control is able to read out file fragments and arrange these in one cluster on the hard drive to ensure rapid access. As a result, the hard drive needs to spin less while the performance remains unchanged. As an additional benefit, there is less demand placed on system resources. Proactive defragmentation uses the time when you are not working to measure the level of disk fragmentation. If it needs to be defragmented, the process is started automatically.

If you'd accidently miss a click, you would lose the entire selection and would have start all over again. But in Windows Vista, you can select multiple files by selecting the check boxes beside the file name, thus eliminating the risk of losing your entire selection. To do so, you would have to enable this feature in Vista.

Run ' My Computer ' or Simply hit the [Win Key] + [E] Combination

If your menus are hidden, hit the [Alt] Key.

From 'Tools' menu, select the 'Folder Options' option.

Click the 'View' Tab and Select the 'Use Check Boxes to select items' Check Box.

Once done, click 'OK'

Ashampoo Uninstaller 4 - Improved Uninstaller

Windows® is famous for getting more sluggish the more you use it. One reason for this is that many programs leave your computer full of digital garbage when you remove them. Every time you try out a new program and then uninstall it your system gets more and more clogged up with redundant program components that just get in the way and slow things down. Ashampoo Uninstaller 4 completely eliminates this problem. It lets you test software with confidence because you can be sure that no trace of programs you remove are left anywhere on your system.

Ashampoo UnInstaller 4 is actually a complete Windows® maintenance package with over a dozen powerful tools. It comes with an advanced hard disk defragmenter, a file wiper, a file undeleter, an Internet cleaner, a Windows® Registry cleaner, a Windows® system restore point manager, file and folder backup and much more.

New and improved Features in Ashampoo Uninstaller 4:

- Improved UnInstaller: Uninstall performance and accuracy have been further improved, particularly for “staged” program installations. This means that programs installed in several logged stages, for example with multiple updates over a period of time, are now removed much more efficiently.

- New Undeleter and File Wiper: A powerful undelete tool for recovering accidentally deleted files and a wiper for completely removing all traces of sensitive files from your hard disk have been added to the UnInstaller toolkit in this version.

- Improved Hard Disk Defragmenter: The efficient hard disk defragmentation tool has received a major update and now includes boot time defragmentation, automatic “Pro-Active” defragmentation when the hard disk is idle and multiple drive defragmentation with optional automatic computer shutdown when the process is complete.

- Improved Internet Cleaner : The Internet Cleaner deletes all traces of Internet surfing sessions from your computer (all browsers normally save records of everything you view). The new version supports all the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox, and now also allows Firefox users to choose which cookies they want to keep or delete.

Open Multiple Instances of Registry Editor

Usually, the registry editor can only be opened in one instance. If you try to start it a second time, only the currently opened program window is focused. BTW You would prefer two editors to be open simultaneously, for instance, to compare key values in a more efficient way. Here's How to do it ! Make use of the Start Menu as usual and click on ' Run ' to open a second registry editor parallel to an instance that is already open. In this dialog, enter the 'regedit.exe' command in the 'Open' Field. But this time add the '-m' parameter to it with a space. Windows will now start another registry editor as an independent instance. In Windows Vista, this can be done by entering the command directly in the search field in the Start Menu.

Changes that are made in one editor are not automatically detected by other open editors. Thus, you need to click [F5] to refresh the display. With every opened registry editor instance, you directly access the same database.
