With almost every piece of software there are hidden features. Windows has its fair share and today I want to share with you the trick for activating the “God Mode” folder. The instructions I provide will work in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and even the upcoming Windows 10. Please do not try these instructions in other versions as it could create problems.
- Right click on your Windows desktop and choose New | Folder in the pop-up menu that appears. You’ll now have a folder labeled “New Folder” on your desktop. It doesn’t have any special powers yet.
- Change the name of this new folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and press Enter. I suggest you use copy and paste to avoid any typos. If you want to change “GodMode” to something else, feel free as the text before the period can be whatever you want.
- After you change the name, the folder icon will change to one that looks like Windows Control Panel (see the screenshot of mine at top right).
Once you’ve created the folder, double-click on it and you’ll have a very long list of tweaks you can make in Windows. Below is a screenshot of a very small portion of everything that is available.
