Windows 7 & Vista God mode

Getting past the naming, ‘God mode’ can be very useful for finding options in Windows 7 and Vista.

Entering God mode

Make a new folder called:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

It can be anywhere – we tried it in the Drive C root folder.

If you do it right, the folder icon will change to the Control Panel icon.

Enter the folder and it shows up a long list of control settings that are normally spread across many locations (Action Center, Admin Tools etc).

According to Cnet it works in Windows 7 32-bit but might crash 64-bit Windows. It worked on several 64-bit machines, we’ve tried … touchwood.

Removing 'God' from 'God mode'

Claude Almer realized that the key number in curly brackets is the important bit - you can name 'God mode' anything you like:

The Prophet Mode - Peace be upon him.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Lord Vishnu mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
