How to Activate GodMode in Windows 7

                        

Want to activate GodMode in Windows 7? Here's how!

                   Windows 7 users are all abuzz about the OS and its GodMode. If you haven't heard of it, GodMode is a folder that brings together a long list of customization settings allowing you to change all your settings from one place. Neat huh? It's very easy to enable and damn useful if you tweak things around a lot.

   

       Create a new folder.

       Rename the folder to 

        GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
        (note that you can change the “GodMode” text, but the following period and code number are essential).

         The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:

The window shows nearly 50 sections with quick links to configuration options. Strictly speaking, it’s not a God Mode since all the options are available elsewhere. It’s more akin to an “all tasks” list — but you may find it easier than stumbling through Windows numerous screens and panels.

Warning!

The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.
