As indicated by enthusiasts around the Web, there is a simple way to access a hidden "God Mode" in Windows 7 and Vista. With a name like that, your expectations might be a little high -- and no, Windows is not secretly invincible -- but the trick is awesome nevertheless.
"God Mode" simply provides users with a centralized Control Panel for all of Windows' settings, from changing your desktop background to setting up a VPN or partitioning your hard drive. In all, there are nearly 50 categories and most have several entries.

How to activate God Mode on Windows 7/8.1

Even though you have 'Control Panel' to edit & configure your system it doesn't give you a list of options about everything you can configure on your Windows 7 Machine. This (God Mode) will give you a full list of everything you can edit, configure, and modify on your computer.
​

  • Create a new folder.
  • Rename it to 'God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}'.
  • Hit the 'Enter' key to confirm the rename.

Basically it listed all the functions that you can choose directly without going to subcategories ;).

Actually, you can use any words other than 'God Mode' before the period above.

Thanks Jack!!

This one is a "Home Run!"

I can tell you it sure beats downloading various widgets that purport to offer access to all the stuff in the "God Mode" folder...but never actually work as described due to whatever reason(s). They turn out to be a real hassle and waste of time.

This one makes me warm and fuzzy... :D
