Windows 7 God Mode, a cool workaround which will give you access to all the features of the OS. A pity about the name (it certainly wasn’t an official decision rather an unauthorized extra, so blaming Microsoft isn’t really fair).
Getting past the naming, ‘God mode’ can be very useful for finding options in Windows 7.
Entering God mode
Make a new folder called:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
It can be anywhere – I tried it in the Drive C root folder.
If you do it right, the folder icon will change to the Control Panel icon.
Enter the folder and it shows up a long list of control settings that are normally spread across many locations (Action Center, Admin Tools etc).
Note: Don’t try it with Vista, it’ll crash.
