You actually can add it to Windows, just look some tutorial up, it works perfectly. In fact I tried it yesterday.

And wanted to reboot to use local admin, rather than simply use a runas /user:... There was an uber god mode before Vista, System. You'd psexec /s software, which then runs as system, having even more privileges than local or domain admin on that machine. That's largely limited now by UAC - sort of, but can still have its occasional uses more easily accessed via powershell.

[@Lofote]

@@spvillano psexec impersonating the SYSTEM account still works just fine in Windows 10/11 without any limitation, other than that you need to start it in an elevated prompt as an administrator.

[@spvillano]

@@Lofote true, but security enhancements just made scripting things a touch more annoying. Ended up easier to go with powershell in elevated and just work around the protection, which is what the stinkers do as well. Just another casualty in the arms race against assholes.

Delayed startup is quite useful for a lot of services. Keep the ones that you know you want to start immediately on automatic and change the others to delay them which basically throttles them for a minute or two then starts them up automatically. It just smooths over the startup process a slight bit, but is worth doing on a weaker system.

My favorite feature is actually a registry hack: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSecondsInSystemClock DWORD=1 It makes Windows show the time down to the second in the systray.

I even used it on the PCs I was issued at the last 2 companies I worked for.

About Group Policy editor: there was no rule restricting access to it a few years ago, so at my school my friends and I were able to open GPedit and remove all restrictions on each computer we used. That was great Edit: A few months later we got suspensions for some of our computer exploits, and after that year the school upgraded all the computer security and I was never able to do such things again although I didn’t try very hard. We did do some similar things and got more suspensions but that was also for making a website mocking the school and a 24 hour KZbin livestream… a story for another time.

You pointed out how the Disk Management tool can be dangerous, but what's more dangerous is DiskPart because if you issue a clean command within DiskPart, it blows away all the partitions on the selected disk with absolutely no warning. But, you can recover your partitions with your favorite partition recovery software, as long as you haven't written anything to the disk after your "accident". It takes many, many hours, depending on the size of the disk.

[@smileynetsmileynet7922]

Please make a video on just God Mode. It was the only thing I didn't already know about.

My god mode is an empty folder

[@gentuxable]

The main difference between a background process and a service is that the service runs in its own session, which in practice means it keeps running when you log out and starts before you have logged in. Usually they run under a system account which has full access to all files also but it can be configured. A background process on the other hand starts like your normal program and your normal user and quits when you log out. I know this because I've worked for a software company and we had to package parts of our suite as service for some of our customers for this exact reason.

[@pacoramirez7363]

[@adamb89]

My go-to method for opening the startup folder is to simply type "startup" in the address bar of the file explorer and hit enter. You jump right there. Another good tip is the net1 command. It functions identically to net, but was created as a failsafe back during the Y2K scare, and was just never removed from any subsequent version of Windows. In an office environment the administrator might disable the net command for standard users, but they usually forget about net1 so you can use that as a workaround. Lastly, I would suggest that everyone know how to map network folders to a drive letter. This is particularly handy if you maintain a SharePoint site collection or something like that, you can map that server URL to a drive letter and interact with the file system directly.

True, composite devices are often just devices made of several devices that work independently (like webcams with integrated microphones). I guess a drive can pop up as such a device in certain cases, but even composite devices pop up as the individual subdevices in addition to being summed up as composite (settings of the composite device gives a good list usually)

[@DaimlerSleeveValve]
