Enable Windows 7's Hidden "God Mode"
As indicated by enthusiasts around the Web, there is a simple way to
access a hidden "God Mode" in Windows 7 and Vista. With a name like
that, your expectations might be a little high -- and no, Windows is not
secretly invincible -- but the trick is awesome nevertheless.
"God Mode" simply provides users with a centralized Control Panel for
all of Windows' settings, from changing your desktop background to
setting up a VPN or partitioning your hard drive. In all, there are
nearly 50 categories and most have several entries.
It's almost comical how simple it is to access it:
As an additional note, having the undocumented feature disclosed all over the Web, Microsoft has decided to be more open about it admitting similar commands have been available even before Vista. They have also revealed other text strings that create similar "God Mode" folders, a list is available here.

It's almost comical how simple it is to access it:
-
Create a new folder. Anywhere is fine, I created one on my desktop.
-
Rename the folder to: God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} *Note: The "God Mode" chunk can be called anything you want.
- The default folder icon will change to a Control Panel icon, and you can open it to view all of the settings.
