How to enable God Mode in Windows 7

Posted by Davor Tuesday, June 1, 2010


Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s been doing the rounds on the Internet. It enables “GodMode,” a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
GodMode windowTo use it:
  • Create a new folder.
  • Rename the folder to 
    GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
     
    (note that you can change the “GodMode” text, but the following period and code number are essential).
  • The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:
GodMode window
The window shows nearly 50 sections with quick links to configuration options. Strictly speaking, it’s not a God Mode since all the options are available elsewhere. It’s more akin to an “all tasks” list — but you may find it easier than stumbling through Windows numerous screens and panels.
