Easter egg windows 7 godmode

We all know that the answers to both questions are yes. When you use the Windows calculator program to confirm these, the results will differ. Windows has a personal productivity assistant named Cortana. This Microsoft Easter Egg is more fun to do if you activate speech recognition and dictation. One vital piece of equipment for this to work is a working microphone connected to your PC.

This will activate Cortana and speech recognition. Now, you can ask Cortana to do simple things for you. Ask her to flip a coin or roll the dice.

When she complies, you can watch the coin flip or a pair of die roll onscreen. Windows reserves these names for device names. That means only Windows can use these names. When Doom got released on Windows, the game used port This is a reference to the Number of the Beast. Until now, port is the only port reserved for doom.

You can check this by going to C:WindowsSystem32driversetc. This hidden feature is an alternative way to shut down your Windows computer. On a desktop computer, you can create a shortcut for this shutdown option. Press the power button for 3 to 5 seconds to launch SlideToShutDown. We hope you learned from and enjoyed reading this post.

Or, you can open the GodMode folder, go to the Administrative Tools section, and click on Defragment your hard drive.

Another example is adjusting the display settings—perhaps to mirror or extend the display landscape onto a second monitor. You can click Start, Control Panel, Display , and then select Change display settings from the panel on the left. Or you can go into the GodMode folder and just click on Change display settings under the Display section. The tools exist already, and GodMode is really nothing more than a regrouping of those tools. But it is a convenient regrouping.

IT admins and power users can also make effective use of the Windows Search function to navigate to tools more efficiently. However, that requires knowing up front what tool you are looking for, and making sure you enter the right keyword or phrase for Windows to locate it for you.

What GodMode does—aside from conveniently regrouping common tools that are already available—is list the tools in logical categories based on the types of tasks an IT admin might need to perform.

And the tools are named for the way that IT admins think when they want to perform those tasks. There you have it. Easter Eggs were outlawed at Microsoft and had a standing order for immediate dismissal of anybody who created them back in the days of Bill Gates still running the show.

It's fun. Administrator joined:Jan 14, posts votes: 3. Its an old feature dating back to windows I used the special folder options often when playing with alternate windows shells like litestep for xp back in the early Ocean, thanks for that awesome link - I learned 2 new commands I did not know about. That is a great article. Senior Member joined:June 18, posts votes: It is excellent.

I just had our IT guy do it and he found a control option he said he has been searching for for a week off and on in a couple seconds. Senior Member joined:Mar 4, posts votes: 2. Na grelmar how else can one learn. Full Member joined:Mar 7, posts votes: 0.

Word of warning, by my own trial and error, once you create and rename the folder, and 'GodMode' is born, DONT MOVE it to the quick launch bar, as it stops explorer working, and you can only restart it by deleting the godmode folder from the quicklaunch folder once you find it!
