Reply to: Windows 7 God Mode

Yes, I meant Windows Explorer.

Just checked and after typing it into Windows Explorer and it resolving and then clicking into the address field it displays the patch which is actually to the icon I had created previously on my desktop.

i.e. C:\Users\Username\Desktop\GodMode

Exlporer != browser

Yeah the penny just dropped, he means windows explorer not internet explorer. [insert slaps head smilie here]

Umm, I'm well aware of this

As the article I linked to pointed out, Microsoft don't call it GodMode, so if you just type it into Explorer's location bar it won't find anything of that name on the system, and will decide you probably wanted something from the web instead.

Once the shortcut exists, Explorer (well, the Windows shell to be precise) will find that on your machine and assume that's what you wanted to open.

With your new found God mode, you can easily find the setting to stop it

Let me know when you have some success

No joy, god doesn't get an instruction manual.

Otherwise it must be a setting somewhere in Windows that is giving us this inconsistent behaviour.

It does the same if you enter it into windows explorer

My guess is the shortcut via windows explorer only works once you've set up the folder on your desktop.

When I do that it opens my browser which redirects me to godmode.com

He assures me he tested it first, and it works.

Also that he spell-checked it up to normal CUK standards.

Works perfectly here, good tip

Looked like he'd just blindly copy and pasted it from somewhere else IMO

Stick to the instructions the OP gave, he seems to know what he's on about.

I'd be careful what you type in then.


Maybe he meant you need to type it into the search box on the start menu. Though that doesn't work for me anymore than yours did.

Nice. Ta.

Or you can type GodMode in the Explorer address bar.
