Windows 7 - God mode

         Though Windows 8.1 has been making a big splash lately, most Windows users—about three-quarters of billion of them, still run Windows 7. So as I was surfing the net looking for some interesting Windows 7 features, I came across this concept - the one called God mode in Windows 7. So what is it?

Windows 7 GodMode:

       It may be hyperbolically named, but Windows 7's God Mode is indeed omnipresent. It conveniently puts hundreds of settings from all around the operating system all in one place. If you haven't heard of it, GodMode is a feature that was revealed by CNet's Microsoft Correspondent, Ina Fried. 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.

How to activate it?

Step 1: Right click.
Step 2: Click create folder.
Step 3: Name your sparkly, new folder this, "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" and press enter.
Step 4: Blink as the folder changes form to look like the control panel.


Step 5: Open the folder and bask in all your godly, control panel-y power.

         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.

        Stay tuned for more such interesting features... For more details and a clear explanation, see this video:
