Une astuce permet de centraliser la configuration d’un nombre important de paramètres dans Windows 7, c’est ce que Microsoft appelle GodMode ou le mode Dieu en français. Activer Dieu

Pour l’activer, rien de plus simple. Il suffit de créer un nouveau dossier n’importe où sur votre disque dur, depuis l’Explorateur Windows de 7. Nous conseillons néanmoins un emplacement sûr pour éviter que cette manipulation donne un accès trop important aux personnes qui partage votre ordinateur ou votre compte.

Une fois le nouveau dossier crée, il suffit de le renommer ainsi :

  GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Si tout a bien fonctionné, le dossier devrait avoir changé d’icône pour ressembler à un module du panneau de configuration. Lorsque l’on double clique dessus, on accède alors à un menu permettant de paramétrer Windows et les comptes d'utilisateurs. On ne peut pas néanmoins utiliser cette manipulation pour configurer une machine à distance.
