Title: How to enable GodMode in Windows 10
Post by: Mick on April 14, 2018, 04:37:10 PM
Fed up with searching around all the various settings pages to find a specific setting in Windows 10.  Well thankfully there's a way to see all your settings in one place.   GodMode.

It's bee around, I believe since Windows 7, and is still there on Windows 10.  So how do I activate it.

Right click your desktop, and click new folder from the menu.

Rename that new folder by copying and pasting the line below, exactly as is, complete with GodMode, the period and the brackets.

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

The folder icon will change to a control panel icon. Double-click on that new icon to see all your settings and controls in one place, and all organised under their various headings.

Good tip, Mick.

I've been using God mode since Windows 7, and had to figure this out to use it in Win 8 and Win 10.  Works great when you need to get to certain settings that you can't get to any other way.  As you said, all settings right there at hand.

People unfamiliar with Windows setting should be aware, though, that changing certain settings could have undesired results.  If you're not sure, always do some research or ask someone before making changes...

Absolutely agree Joom.  Never change things if you're not sure.   ;)
