Has anyone else tried this Gode Mode?


God Mode is a simple folder that brings all aspects of Windows 7 control in a single place. It collects all of the Control Panel functions, interface customization, accessibility options, just about every aspect of controlling Windows 7 into a single place.

God Mode is easy to set up too, just do this:

* Create a new folder anywhere.
* Rename the folder by pasting this name exactly as it appears (copy it first):
* GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01}

UPDATED
Per Microsoft:
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:

The window shows nearly 50 sections with quick links to configuration options. Strictly speaking, it’s not a God Mode since all the options are available elsewhere. It’s more akin to an “all tasks” list — but you may find it easier than stumbling through Windows numerous screens and panels.
Big Red Warning!
The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.

This was known before Windows 7 was even released. It's like an advanced control panel.

I was just wondering if anyone found this worth even using? Is there any security risks using this?

I don't see why there would be, all the options are available elsewhere... And EVERYTHING is available via Start -> Search if you know what you're looking for, that's my "God Mode".

Yeah. Search is pretty useful, but it doesn't work for some stuff unless you type it in specifically like gpedit.msc. I don't know if that's available in the God Mode, though.

Control Panel is a p cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything...

Also, it's faster to right click and select "Personalize" than it is to open up a folder to get to the same functionality. This is interesting, but unnecessary.

Well guess that answers that. Thanks Everyone.
