Enable Windows 7's Hidden "God Mode"
As indicated by enthusiasts around the Web, there is a simple way to
access a hidden "God Mode" in Windows 7 and Vista. With a name like
that, your expectations might be a little high -- and no, Windows is not
secretly invincible -- but the trick is awesome nevertheless.
"God Mode" simply provides users with a centralized Control Panel for
all of Windows' settings, from changing your desktop background to
setting up a VPN or partitioning your hard drive. In all, there are
nearly 50 categories and most have several entries.
It's almost comical how simple it is to access it:
-
Create a new folder. Anywhere is fine, I created one on my desktop.
-
Rename the folder to: God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} *Note: The "God Mode" chunk can be called anything you want.
-
The default folder icon will change to a Control Panel icon, and you can open it to view all of the settings.
