How to Unlock Windows 7 Beta Hidden Protected Features

This will show you how to use a Blue Badge tool to unlock and enable the hidden protected features in the Windows 7 beta build 6801 version.
This was discovered by Rafael Rivera at Within Windows. See this site for more details and information.

This Blue Badge tool will back up the default files below with the renamed file extension of .original instead, then patch the default files below to unlock the hidden protected features. If you need to restore the original files after running the Blue Badge tool, then delete the patched files below and rename the backup .original file extentions for the files below back to the same default file extensions of the files below.
