Windows 7 God Mode

Windows 7 has released a new little trick they call "God Mode" that is basically the Control Panel of all Control Panels.  It is a master list of a lot of options available in the Control Panel.  Here are the steps on how to enable "God Mode":

I have only tried this on Windows 7 64 bit.  I've been told it works fine with Windows 7 32 bit and Vista 32 bit but there have been problems with it on Vista 64 bit.  Be warned.

1.  Create a new folder wherever you would like.

2.  Rename the folder to "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"   (Without the quotations)


       That is all there is to it.  The folder icon should change and you can enter it by double clicking it.




Tip -  The GodMode text at the beginning of the folder name will name the folder.  If you don't want it to say "GodMode", change the text before the first period to whatever you like.


         For example, Chris.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} would name the folder "Chris".
