Windows 10
So who got the Windows 10 Technical Preview that Microsoft released today? Build number is 9841.
Start button is back.
I installed it today and here are a couple of other less obvious things I found about it:
1. netplwiz still works if you want to disable the login screen.
2. god mode still works.
More details:
Netplwiz
The way to disable the login screen is to search for netplwiz, select the username, untick the box on "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer", click Apply, enter and confirm password in the popup, and then click OK.
Alternatively, you can run netplwiz though by either:
- manually finding and double clicking it in the folder C:\Windows\System32
- or from the start button, click all apps, scroll down to and click windows system, scroll down and click run, and in the popup, type netplwiz and click OK.
Now upon restarting, it will take you straight to the desktop without need to login.
Of course if you ever need to get the login back, just run netplwiz again and tick the box you previously unticked.
God Mode
God Mode still works in Windows 10. It's like a control panel on steroids accessible from the desktop.
To make one, make a new folder on the desktop called New Folder.
Now copy this code:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
and replace the name of the folder with that name. When you press enter, the folder icon changes to a control panel icon, and the name automatically changes again to just GodMode.
Double click it and you will get a lot of easily accessible controls on your system.
