Playing God in Windows 7

If you have recently upgraded to Windows 7,  you are probably a little overwhelmed with all the new options.  For “power users” of Windows XP it can be a little frustrating, since most of the older settings are no longer where they used to be.

“GodMode” to the rescue!

There is a hidden feature in Windows 7 called “GodMode”.  It displays almost all user-adjustable settings and control panels in one place.  But you won’t find it on any of your menus.  Here’s how to activate it:

1. Create a new folder on your C: drive
2. Rename the folder to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. The new folder will now rename itself “GodMode” and the icon will resemble a control panel.  Double-click the folder, and you have access to over 250 settings and options all in one place – very cool!
