Windows hidden "god mode" folder.

Post by Anuj Dhawan »

Name is God, "God Mode"! Well, the name sounds more hyperbolic than that, but Windows 7's God Mode is indeed ubiquitous. If you're a regular Windows user, you're gonna like it. This feature of Windows puts many of the settings in one place and lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.

To enter this mode, create a new folder with this exact name (copy and paste it): God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

The folder icon will change to a Control Panel-style icon, and you will be able to jump in and change all kinds of settings.

Note: Don't try this on Windows Vista 64-bit as it's known to cause a reboot loop in there. And yes, You've been warned!
Thanks,
Anuj

This is good to know - are there any side effects to use it?

It's similar to the Control-Panel which you've with Windows OS, if you know how to work with Control-Panel, you won't probably hurt your self using it as well.
