Windows 7 “God Mode”

23. Jan, 2010 0 Comments

In case you are unaware of it, there is a way in Windows 7 to create a folder which is a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.

Although the name may be sacrilegious to some, (in which case, when you’ve created the folder you can always rename it) the so-caller “GodMode,” can be entered by creating a new folder and then renaming it as: “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” (without the speech marks”)

When you’ve done that, the folder’s icon will change to resemble a control panel and the folder will contain dozens of control options. I’ve not found any comment from Microsoft on the net about why this exists, but it’s very handy!
