How to access God mode in Windows 7

God mode basically is a windows 7 trick that will help the user to access to all of the operating system's control in one folder.The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.

Create a new folder with the name given below 

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

After creating the folder the icon automatically changes to the control panel .

Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "GodMode" feature that lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.

So that's all for today folks.Meet you later in another post.If you like the post feel free to share the link
