How to Set Up God Mode on Windows

Instead of hunting through Control Panel and the Settings app for a scattered option, one special folder puts nearly every Windows setting in a single searchable place.

  1. Create a new folder on your desktop

    Right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose "New > Folder."

  2. Rename the folder with the special code

    Rename the folder exactly to "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}".

  3. Watch the icon change to a Control Panel icon

    As soon as you finish typing the name, the folder icon automatically switches to the Control Panel icon, confirming it worked.

  4. Open the folder to browse every setting

    Double-click the folder to see nearly all of Windows' settings organized into categories on a single screen.

Why It Beats Digging Through Menus

Network options, power settings, and administrative tools are normally scattered across Control Panel and the Settings app β€” God Mode collects over 200 of them into one folder that you can search instantly instead of clicking through menu after menu.

A Few Tips Before You Try It

You can rename the part before the dot (GodMode) to anything you like β€” a shortcut label, for example β€” but the code inside the curly braces must be typed exactly as shown, or the trick will not work. It is also safe to delete the folder at any time without affecting your actual settings, since it is only a shortcut.
