MVP 2022 Ausman Posted April 10, 2020 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hi all, stumbled on this little gem today that makes one really annoying aspect of W10 a little easier. If you already have it you can congratulate yourself! Create a new folder on your desktop. Rename the folder by copying this entire string, including the curly brackets, by using whatever rename method you do. GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} When you open the folder it will then display all the things you used to be able to get via Control Panel, and a whole lot more. Very useful at times. It doesn't show a name, but that's a small price to pay. With the folder opened, you can also dragndrop to create shortcuts as necessary. With joy and chocolate from the Australian Easter Bunny. 🍫 🥚 cheers, Aus (In doing those emojis, it did occur to me how odd it is that we have a bunny delivering eggs. Why don't we have the Easter Chook? oops...Chicken for you non-Aussies. Then again, perhaps the "Easter Bunny" is only an Aussie thing.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Very cool indeed..... I seem to remember seeing something like god mode in a Win7 forum years back, but I don't recall it being this simple to implement. Thanks, Aus Easter Bunny JohnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted renamed folder - all restart without problem. I spent some time figuring out what's wrong.One of the programmer forum participants gave a hint ... So you have to be careful using this "magic wand". :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cara Bereck Levy Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Also, right now I feel incredibly cool--rarely happens when I am hanging out with you tech superstars--because I've been using God Mode for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that Joe spends hours in the cigar lab watching Sth Park?
