You should be able to find admin tools by using the search function in Control Panel. The "God Mode" trick is just a variation of search. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/01/03/stupid-windows-7-trick-unlock-the-secret-god-mode-folder/ The Startup folder is on your program menu. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] Desktop Error Message From: David Farrington <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, March 06, 2010 12:02 am To: [log in to unmask] I forgot to say I am running Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I left the Pro out. Anyway, you have pointed me to my Admin Tools folder in my Control Panel. My folder is empty. It gives me an error message: http://cid-7635f8c3073be041.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/ErrorMessage/AdminToolsError.JPG If you have Win7 Pro I assume you have an Admin Tools folder in your Control Panel? I am going to search for this error. I did install a God Mode folder on my desktop that took some of the Admin Tools but I don't see any start folder. More research...Thanks.
