Looks a great user benefit but I would Make a restore point and Registry backup first

[Guest001]

All works and brings up a lot of the settings they try to hide from you.
For interest I created my folder as:

C:\Windows\System32\GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Then I made shortcuts to the Items I need to use and placed them in a quicklaunch style menu

[Guest001]

Nifty but I still couldn't find a way to get rid of the stark white Windows Explorer background, something I've always wondered why you can't change without re-skinning
Aero

[Guest001]

These settings really speed things up, helps prevent double clicking, reduces resource usage and still keep it looking purdy.

Turn off the RED ones

but the other were really good i like the godmode sweet

I like Nvidia, but mistakenly had bought an AMD Crossfire board so I've got AMD graphics just in case I wanted XFire.

I have found some programs (I own and have rights for distribution of the created objects)that make desktop widgets (standalone gadgets) and xp/vista like start menus, so lookout windows 8, here I come armed and ready. I have successfully made some already but I will post later with full details after I have made some more of them and tested for possible distribution to my friends. They will have to be configurable for the User and have variables that allow them to be run with full access on any account.



The widgets can be without backgrounds and just be buttons on your desktop

[Guest001]

Interesting. This program is an update to the XP verion freeware menu mentioned above.
Windows 8 Start Button

A varient to the software here

[Guest001]

This means goodbye to metro for me (when I move across to Windows8)

[Guest001]

You need to let DX install to give your games the correct path and settings verified.


Some games you can say "no I already have DX##" and ignore the installer but other games can go wonky.
Best to let them do it.

Splinter - looks interesting, you can create with it, I have not fully checked it out yet.

[Guest001]

Splinter is a real-time still imagery in motion desktop interface, the ultimate desktop customizer, and is only limited by the imagination.

It combines the 5 most commonly used desktop application functionality genres:

File Launcher
Icon Docking Station
Stack Docklet
Wallpaper Flipper
Visual Style Editor
