Windows 7 is the newest operating system released by Microsoft. It is a major upgrade from Windows Vista, which was known for constant crashing. Windows 7, however, is not prone to crashes and has many great aspects to go along with it.

If you found yourself in a position that a few of your Windows icons are not displaying correctly with the corresponding icon of the file or the Icon Cache is corrupted. Follow this tutorial, you will be purging and rebuilding the icon cache batabase.

An example of this bad behavior of Windows is when you have ZIP files and instead of displaying the default ZIP icon is displaying, let's say a Windows Media Player Icon.

Windows caches or saves all icon preferences automatically to a single database that is called IconCache.db.

The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) needs to be enabled in the computer’s bios. Windows 7 will not load if this is done without ensuring that the AHCI driver is loaded in the operating system (which it is not by default). The benefit of enabling AHCI is that it will speed up read and write operations of the hard drive. (This will occur only if the hard drive supports AHCI.) It is therefore recommended to check the hard drive first to ensure that it is supporting AHCI.
Here is a step by step guide to enabling AHCI in the Windows 7 Registry.

• Press (Windows R), enter (regedit) and hit (enter).

• This opens the Windows Registry editor.

• Move to the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci

• Locate the parameter (Start) on the right side and double-click it.

• Change its value from 3 to 0

• Restart the computer and enable AHCI in the bios

In GodMode, you will actually duplicate the Windows Control Panel. It puts the 270 most useful commands from its various modules front-and-center.

In the gaming community, GodMode is the name given to cheats in video games. They will provide the user with all weapons and access to all areas.

In Windows 7, it lets you have every setting and option right in front of you, ready to be used without having to browse among different settings. You will normally find some settings in the control panel, but in the GodMode, most of the important settings will be there. There won’t be any need to look any further.
