GOD mode for Windows 10 (and Win8.1 and Win7)

Okay okay, this is not the GOD mode that you use on games. However this is quick way to access all Control Panel items, in one click only (I mean double clicks).

All you need to do is:
1. Right click on desktop
2. Select New -> Folder
3. Name the new folder this

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

.
That's it.

You can change "GodMode" to something else. But I am going to keep it as GodMode, just for fun. And this works for Win7 until Win10.

Btw, this is the regular Control  Panel:

Lazy monday

Monday again. Blue? Do you still using hotmail or Windows live account? Skydrive is online storage I am using now. Just to store all the cab files that I used install on my very outdated HTC Touch (this is windows mobile!). If you don't know what is Windows Mobile, there is nothing to miss, just forget it. :D

okay, skydrive, login to your hotmail or windows live account and look for skydrive on left top and start upload your files that you don't mind if people would steal it. This mean do not store your file that you put all your online account password. Just the files that you want to keep but don't want to waste your hard disk or external hard disk.


Have a nice week ahead!

update: btw, skydrive is 25G of disk space! Not a lot to some of us, but it is still a lot of files you can store there. :)

Show Desktop in Windows 7

I have migrated to Windows 7 recently, and was a jump straight from Windows XP, not Vista. It is not really a struggling process for me because of a lot of different between Windows XP and Windows 7, because I am OutdatedPenangUncle!
Just joking. :)
Seriously, with the help of search engines,

Keep emails and attachments on Storage Card for PPC

Free up your PPC device/internal memory by storing emails and attachments on storage card. The default setting on PPC is to store emails and attachment on internal memory, this create problem when you have a lot of emails and big attachments, it will eventually used up all the internal memory on your PPC.
As we know for PPC, the internal memory is limited to 64M(older PPC)/128M/256M(newer PPC), even you have 512M internal memory, it is still limited (sharing with other programs/files as well).
Okay, for PPC with build-in extended memory like Omnia, you should be fine, but I am not sure the default setting on Omnia is to store emails/attachments on device memory or extended memory (Too bad my brother sold his Omnia few month back, else I can check, if you know, please share with me :) )

Here are the steps:
1. Using the file manager in activesync or PPC (like Total Commander), create the following folders on your Storage Card.

\MAPI
\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS

Or you can name them whatever you want, "Inbox" or "Emails" for example.

2. Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)

Do this step only if you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card. I sync my emails from PC to PPC, so I don't need to keep them (I skip this step).

3. Now use your registry editor (again, Total Commander can do this job) and navigate to the following registry:

For WM5 Phones: [ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]
For WM6 Phones: [ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings ]

Then create the following STRING VALUES. Remember to use the paths you created in Step1, if you named them other than MAPI.

Name: AttachPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments

Name: PropertyPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI

4. Reboot/soft reset your PPC. For WM5, do wait for a while before you soft reset because the system need some time to save the registry. WM6 don't have this problem, you can soft reset immediately.
You should able to see your emails and attachments. If not, double check the string and path your added in registry are match the dir you created in Step1.

Enjoy!

p/s: I just perform these steps few days back after I hard reset my HTC Touch Elfin on Apr25, 2010. So I proved this is working for WM6.1!
