That is really cool!
I do wonder why has this not been included in Vista/W7 by default?

It is not hard to program to learn the COM+ codes. You do not have to call
it GodMode. You just need to look up the CLSID.

For Christopher I am sorry you had a bad experience with Windows 7. I just
got a new computer setup to dual boot and Windows 7 is a much better
improvement for me over Vista if you are stuck needing games or MS Office.
My 6-SMP phenom II system boots up in 13 seconds in Windows 7 :-). One
improvement I had noticed that might help your problem is that the
troubleshooters are more than just a bunch of silly pictures of plugging in
cables like in past versions of Windows. My sound card forgot it had jacks
in the back after a Windows update. I driver reinstallation would not fix
it. I was about to use restore points when I ran the troubleshooter and it
fixed it automatically. The network troubleshooter uses the complete tcp/ip
stack at every layer to find problems.

I still prefer Linux and MacOSX. We are just not the core market for grandma
or Joe six pack which is what Windows 7 aims to be.
