A reminder from APCUG -
Did you know that Microsoft in the US will give free 7 by 24 support if you computer becomes infected with malwareyou. You just need to call 1-866-pcsafety (yes more that 7 numbers but you will remember the number that way).

Windows 7 & Vista "God Mode"
Here is a tip on CNET:
Create a new folder (desktop is fine) and then rename it exactly the following --
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
After renaming, double-click on the folder and it will open to reveal one-stop shopping for access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder!
NOTE: Works on 32-bit Vista and Windows 7 but is said to crash 64-bit versions.
