hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a tutorial on two really cool things in Windows 7 first I'm going to show you guys how to use god mode it's a really handy tool to get through all kinds of different prompts and stuff that you would normally have to you know search through the control panel or something it's pretty cool and I'm also going to show you guys we're really nifty utility that will allow you to change your login screen I know you guys probably know this but you can't really change it in Windows 7 and it kinda gets a little stale oh that's kind of nice design you know like to change everything up so this is a really cool utility allows you to do it and it works really good really polished and of course it's free so yeah let's get this one started okay so first we're going to start out with showing you guys god no like I said God mode is basically a kind of little Easter Egg that actually Microsoft put in Windows 7 and Windows Vista that I'll get to that in just one second it's a little easter egg that basically allows you to get into some different things basically it's nothing new there's nothing you know god no it sounds really cool and it's fairly useful but it's nothing amazing basically it brings together a lot of different things like I mean everything from changing your password to connecting to a printer I mean just probably like 150 200 different options and menus and stuff it's all in one place it's pretty cool now this works in all versions of Windows 7 so you can follow this and it also does work in Windows Vista but I've heard some problems I know there's a lot of problems in Windows Vista 64-bit I know that that doesn't work pretty much at all I think it works in 32-bit but I haven't tested it so you know I might not I might be a little cautious I guess anyway this is if you have Windows 7 any version disorder fine okay so this is really simple you don't need to download anything all you need to do is you're going to need to create a folder now you see this ok and I will have this in the description okay I do is copy it okay now you need to go and create a new folder can be on your desktop whatever you want it doesn't really matter all you need to do is create a new folder okay now you need to go ahead and paste that code in now as soon as you hit enter you see it automatically changes and a little to a little new icon now if we click double click this now you will see that God mode is here and this is just a folder just like anything else but as you see here you have all kinds of really cool options so you see like check security status you have defragment your hard drive you've got backup your computer I mean the list I mean you guys can see is just huge I mean you've got all kinds of stuff and you change the theme I mean seriously you see there's probably a couple hundred different things here now there's nothing groundbreaking like I said everything here can be found in other places but the problem is in other places it can kind of you know sometimes I want to just get it like three or four different things and change once that happening you know pull up control panel and look through eight or nine different menus open up this god mode folder roll through it find what I want open it up and what's just fine so yeah guys that's a look at God mode pretty helpful and you guys might want to test it out okay guys so let's move on to part two of the video which will be focusing on this really cool program that will allow you to change your logon background in Windows 7 now I will note this only works on Windows 7 so unlike the previous one we sort of works on Vista doesn't work on anything besides Windows 7 you know it does work on every kind of bit of Windows 7 except for the Windows 7 starter edition so if you have usually that's the starter it comes with netbooks so if you have a Windows 7 starter netbook this won't work but if you have pretty much any other Windows 7 including the release candidate you'll be good anyway so all you got to do is come to let's come to this link which I will have in the description you scroll down to the bottom you can read this but I'm about to show you guys so it's not a big deal so just come down here and download okay so once you download go ahead unzip it you'll find an exe file and one really cool thing I will note about this program is it doesn't need to install or anything so it's a nice thing that you know you don't have to be junk in your computer up so just don't download the program and uninstall it and I I'm sorry unzip it in a place that you won't be deleting it or anything and yeah we can go ahead and show you guys what it does so now that you have downloaded the application you're ready to go ahead and get started okay so just find the link wherever you put it and go ahead and open it up okay so give just one second here and instantly you will see the screen recorder doesn't quite run at full speed but you'll see it's got a very nice animation down here and it works really well as you'll see in just a second so anyway basically you will see that this is the little program it's very simple and this is basically what you're a little preview of what your logon background was going to look like so obviously you can see this is what mine looks like right now just the default now you can change it okay so you have a couple options here for one you can go through some of the default ones up here so like let's say not this one that was kind nice this one and you can go all all along the lines so we can go through say I like this one now there's a couple other things let's we'll go ahead and choose a folder now this is probably your gonna want to do basically you can pick your own okay so let's go ahead and oh I don't know scrap something one second here so let's pull up this folder I've got a lot of stuff let's grab there we go that works nice so as you can see here I can use the isolate picture as my background now once you pick yours and obviously you can pick out any folder you want and grab the right file then you can either hit apply or you can hit settings now settings you probably won't need it but you might so let me show you a quick so you can go ahead and do a couple things like reset default vent other users but it's not a big deal main thing is you might want to change the the text so standardly there's a light shadow around it but if you have like a really dark or really light image you also might want to put no shadow or a dark shadow to make sure that that the text doesn't just disappear so you know you guys might want to consider that but this one looks okay so in a big deal so let's go ahead and hit apply and wait just one minute okay so if you don't do anything obviously this is what your logon wallpaper is going to look like but after you use the program it's going to turn into something just a little bit like this so as you can see it looks really pretty cool and obviously you can change this into any picture this is just you know one I just happen to have but it's really simple as you guys saw just about the only thing you have to watch out or with that is that once you click apply there's going to be a little loading screen on the bottom which I hopefully you guys saw a minute ago absolutely absolutely make sure that it finishes out and the little loading screen will disappear and then the program of action normal if you try to close the program and do something in the middle of it it will mess up your computer and you know you don't want to have something corrupted so just be patient it only takes about 10 seconds so you know just don't click the button in close real fast anyway guys that's just about it a quick look at how to change your wallpaper for your lockscreen as well as how to use Windows 7 god mode both pretty useful things hope you hopefully you guys enjoyed anyway thanks for watching
