Windows 7: Hidden Features

1. God Mode It may not be named, but Windows 7's God Mode is indeed universal. It conveniently puts hundreds of settings from all around the operating system all in one place.

2. To turn on God Mode, create a new folder on your desktop--or anywhere you'd like—

3. Name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} 

4. The resulting folder will contain 270 items, representing virtually every configurable option in Windows 7.

Wipe Free Disk Space

It's no secret (or at least, it shouldn't be) that when you delete files or folders in Windows, they're not actually erased—

The space they took up is simply marked as "available for use," which allows the files to be recoverable (with the right software) until they're overwritten with new data. 

There is a utility built-into Windows (even XP Pro and Vista) that will overwrite all the free space on a hard drive, insuring any files you've deleted stay dead. 

1. Launch a command prompt 

2. Type cipher /w:X where X is the letter of the drive or partition you want to wipe. 

3. Press Enter. 

4. Be patient—the process can take a long time if you have a lot of free space.
