Windows 7’s “GodMode” was discovered by bloggers and confirmed by Microsoft as a group of developer “shortcuts” built into Windows 7 that enable easy access to certain settings and information about the operating system. The “GodMode” view displays every setting in Windows in one very organized Window. In order to access this view, simply create a folder with a name and a special string after it. You don’t have to call the folder “GodMode,” although that is the popular name given to the folder by the blogosphere. If you’re not a developer and/or an advanced user, these options may not seem that useful. However, the "GodMode" list of control panels and wizards really does make accessing settings easier.
To manually create each folder, follow the steps below.
1. Navigate to where you'd like the "GodMode" folder to be located and create a New Folder.
2. Give the folder a name, then a period, and then the following string: {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. You’ll end up getting a folder like this:
Micorsoft has provided additional strings, and the below table illustrates what each does. To create all of these folders at once, download the attached batch file and run it from the location you want the special folders to be located. Deleting these folders does NOT affect Windows and will NOT delete your control panel or settings. However, what is done with the contents of each folder is done entirely at your own risk!
