featured_spectre Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I am looking at creating a package that allows full functionality of the "god mode" available in windows 7. I got the idea from @mattx admin bar, but wanted quick and easy access to use stuff built into Windows 7 without adding in anything extra packages, or without having to go round the houses to get some of the settings. So far in my list of things to include I have the following Services Indexing Services Print Spooler Cleaner Device Manager Computer Manager System Info Check Links Link Speed ~(to accurately test your network throughput) Memory Monitor Memory Triage Performance Monitor Partitioner Defrag Wireless NIC and Wired NIC Configuration Add Remove Programs Change Locale Settings Rename PC System Restore I am looking to include various package links (such as open up new document in Word, Excel, outlook etc for variants of office from 2003 - 2010). What would you all say to this and have I missed anything off? 1

russdev Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Does that mean at BETT @Dos_Box and @nephilim have to sword fight... That could be a crowd puller might suggest that for the Impero stand.. Russ
witch Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Does that mean at BETT @Dos_Box and @nephilim have to sword fight... That could be a crowd puller might suggest that for the Impero stand.. Russ Surely Dos_Box will have more technological weapons to hand than a sword? Mind you, I expect nephilim will have some interesting gadgets as well. Hmmm - shape changers, morph fields, portable black holes?
featured_spectre Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 Nah its just an application I wanted to create because I hated faffing about...it is Windows 7 32bit only First trial run is up All comments appreciated (PS I hope the bosses dont mind that I used the logo and name, that can come out if requested) And yes I know some of the features I listed are not on but it is a working progress
featured_spectre Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 If someone can post up what doesn't work in win7 64bit that would be good so I can work on those too.

john Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Does that mean at BETT @Dos_Box and @nephilim have to sword fight... That could be a crowd puller might suggest that for the Impero stand.. Russ Well it does beat chasing @robk around Olympia..... hehe
Arthur Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) If someone can post up what doesn't work in Win7 64bit that would be good so I can work on those too. Looks good, but there are a few issues on Windows 7 x64. Buttons which do absolutely nothing when clicked Check Disk, Defrag, GPResult Buttons which crash the application when clicked Component Servers, Disk Partitioner, Event Viewer, Hardware Wizard, MSConfig, Onscreen Keyboard, Performance Monitor, Presentation Manager, Printer Migration, Registry Edit, Repair Disk, System Restore, User Accounts Buttons which work Disk Cleanup, Display Switch, GPUpdate, MS Diagnostic Tool, Remote Desktop, Resource Monitor, System Info, User Access Control Other issues * Credential Wizard & Encryption Wizard open, but only a tiny part of their title bar is visible. * DXDiag, NetStat, NSLookup and Task Manager all open minimized by default * NetStat doesn't stay open Feature Requests * Make it a regular EXE with zero dependencies. Not only do ClickOnce apps not work on TS/RD servers, but they are annoying too. * Add button for Windows Update * Grey out buttons for features which aren't implemented yet.

sparkeh Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Just wondering, is this any different to the 'God mode' documented here? You can carry this around on a memory stick and just run it from there.
featured_spectre Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 yes because it loads up some features not listed there...DX Diag, System Info, Perf Mon, Presentation Manager etc...taking the useful functions from it all really 2
sparkeh Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 yes because it loads up some features not listed there...DX Diag, System Info, Perf Mon, Presentation Manager etc...taking the useful functions from it all really Awesome, I'll give it a test then 1

GrumbleDook Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 There is only one (load-balanced) address for EMBC ... proxy.embc.uk.com:80 (the old proxy of proxy.embc.org.uk will translate to this if people still have not changed). 1
