[citation][nom]bakabaka[/nom]does this work on win 7 64? i thought this crashes win 7 64bit[/citation]

AFAIK it's fine with Vista 64 bit but crashes on 32... Haven't heard anything about Win7 64. I tried it on the RC.

Yup, religios folk need three people to do what us smart folk can do with one. Just sayin....
 
this worked on my vista pc at school, but when i went to put it on my vista laptop it causes my desktop to do this weird refresh type thing and i cant get it to stop. now going into a linux bootable cd to see if i can delete the file from my desktop
 
Sweet, now all my friends will be able to screw up all my settings all from one location!

But on a serious note, thats a pretty good find.
 
Hmm, lots from what I can think of.
[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]One Question: What potential security issues could this create?[/citation]

Maybe that's why Microsoft didn't put this in as default... Maybe they ARE smarter than some people think.
[citation][nom]libraryeli[/nom]Awesome find Ina. Although...Wow, you need a secret "godmode" hack to be able to do something that MS should have put into the OS by default -- a clear, concise, all-in-one control panel.Congratulations Microsoft, you show us how much disdain you have for the people who pay your salaries, and you fail once again.[/citation]

Only 33% of the world actually believes this.
 
For those of you that said it works in Vista, thanks a lot. IT DOESN'T. At least mine it doesn't. It cause the folder I put it in to crash Explorer.
 
I used a 3rd party file manager to delete it. In the manager, it appeared that it was trying to work, just Windows Explorer kept crashing. Now it's not crashing, and I'm not gonna try it again.
