Smart hidden functions in Windows 7 – God Mode

God Mode

Most computer-savvy people have probably started to get used to Windows 7 by now. We're all starting to work out where we can find things in the Start menu, for example, and how to navigate around searches and folders.  We're getting used to transparency, and some of us might even have come to love it! Quite simply, we're learning more and more to live with Windows 7 and its functionality.

But there are still a few functions that very few people are aware of, such as how to open "God mode". This command opens a list of all possible settings in the operating system. This can be a very useful and structured way of finding the functions available in Windows. To open "God Mode", this is what you do:

Create a new folder by right-clicking on the desktop. Rename the folder by pasting the following text into the name field for the folder. " GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}". This creates a new icon called "God Mode" on your desktop. When you click on this icon, this shows all the possible settings for Windows 7.
