Windows 7 God Mode?

Posted: January 6, 2010 in tips and tricks, Windows 7

Here is a simple Trick for Windows 7 which will unlock Windows 7 hidden “God Mode” Control Panel.
This will provide a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.

Step 1. Create a New Folder (In any directory)

Step 2. Rename the folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Note: you can change the “GodMode” text, but the following period and code number are essential.

Your Folder would look like this. Similar icon to Control Panel — double click it to show the GodMode window 

The window shows 280 plus 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.
