Enable Windows 7 GodMode
How to Enable Windows 7 GodMode
The godmode will enable the “Monster control panel” that includes all functions and is quite large. See below for specific codes to create specific links.“GodMode,” a term revised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
To use it:
- 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:
There are other codes for specific features and functions. The “monster control panel” above will give you the complete list of all features at once, but that list is quite lengthy so you might want to create multiple, smaller and specific links:
Important: To use the codes below you have to insert the word “Godmode.” before the code and then insert the complete string as the folder name.Example: Godmode.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}

Strictly Speaking,
Its actually not GOD mode.Apparently people decided to call this “God Mode” because to enable this “trick” you make a folder called GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and double-click on it. Now you can see… the control panel. With a slightly different view than you normally see it in.So first off, why is this completely silly? Well, the text ”GodMode” has nothing to do with making the trick work. You can call the folder "Sasi.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” and now you’ve discovered the magical “Sasi” feature hidden in Windows.
Well, not really. What you’ve actually discovered are two things:
First, you’ve discovered a documented feature of the shell whereby filesystem folders can be easily made into namespace junctions, Basically, any folder named <DisplayName>.<CLSID> will show up with just the <DisplayName> portion visible in Explorer, and navigating into the folder will take you to the namespace root defined by the <CLSID> portion of the name. This isn’t a user feature, it’s a developer feature.
The second thing you’ve discovered is the “All Tasks” folder. This is a special shell folder which is used as the source of the “Control Panel” search results seen in the Start menu. This folder was not designed to be browsed to directly, as the normal Control Panel folder (accessible via Start -> Control Panel) contains all the same items but with a custom view designed to be easier to navigate. The “All Tasks” folder has no custom view, so you just see the standard Explorer list view and little else.
Very Helpfull
