What is GodMode actually?

What is GodMode actually?
A  GodMode is a hidden folder which provides a single place to access all Windows-Settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.

GodMode is actually a developer shortcut in Windows 7/ Windows Vista that provides more direct access to features and functions of the operating system. To be clear, GodMode doesn't add functionality. But it helps administrators work more efficiently by collecting all these tweaks and controls in one place.


Accessing GodMode in Windows 7/ Vista.

  1. Create a new folder wherever you want the GodMode folder to be. Right-click in Windows Explorer. Select New > Folder.
  2. Now name the folder as: 
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
You can name the folder anything you like as long as you add a period followed by exact text string within the braces

 
The folder icon should be replaced  by the Control Panel icon, and the folder should now be filled with a variety of tweaks and tools.
There are many other hidden developer folders in Windows 7/ Windows Vista that provides more direct access to features and functions of the operating system.

To access all of those:
  • Open Notepad: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.
  • Copy and paste the following code in the Notepad:
mkdir "Special Folders
cd ".\Special Folders
mkdir "God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
mkdir "Location Settings.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
