Kevin, back in the '90s I started an Excel Spreadsheet I used as a screensaver to countdown to retirement (1999). By entering dates in cells you can add or substract them and I found if you enter -=Today()- in a cell and reference other dates to it it updates the cell automatically to reflect current date. I then automatically converted the days to months and years. This video reminded me of that. In the '90s I used Lotus then Excel and created many sheets to handle scheduling, attendance, and even automated my expense forms. One thing I did learn was use it or lose it. I really appreciate your videos, they remind me of what I've forgotten and teach me new stuff. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Keep up the good work!!

Tried the God Mode folder trick and it didn't work... really sucks since that would be the most useful thing on this list for me. Edit: derp - you have to put the whole name in starting with Godmode.- ..... It works now

Fell in chocolate river twice lol. Mouth glued shut from eating caramels. Too funny. I wanted to try a Kevin company cookie. Not so much now. I had a godmode on my PC and wondered how it got there. Great video.

God Mode code did not work. I just copied the code and pasted it for the New Folder name. On enter nothing happened. Clicking on the folder opened an empty folder.

I knew the god mode -. Thinking I will bring a lawsuit to Kevin-s cookie company since I placed an order for cookies and never got them. I want my cookies!,

Kevin. How can we do time difference (Hours and minutes), and how can we search several documents at once for a particular word or phrase?. Thanks.

On my Windows 10 Home, god mode did not work. The desktop folder created simply retained this folder name of -ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C-

God Mode did not work for me. I have Windows 10 Home, version 20H2. Does that make a difference? It just opens a new folder.
