God Mode in Win 7

Hi Friends!

Today we are going to learn about Microsoft's undocumented feature-The God mode(AKA Windows Master Control Panel shortcut and All Tasks)- that gives the users quick links to special areas of operating system in Win 7(both 32 and 64- bits). It's called the God mode as it provides the capabilities to navigate to any domain/controller of your system.

Let's start rolling:

Step 1: Create a folder anywhere in your system

Step 2: Rename it to anything.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
    


N.B. : Notice that the icon of this folder has changed to something like the Control Panel.

Step 3: We are done. Now double click on the folder to reveal a link to almost anything in your system
                                                     
So as I told you(as the picture is not clear), when you will enter into the folder, you will find link to tools, utilities, interfaces etc.
There is actually nothing new, all this can be achieved in Control Panel as well. It's just a long big list.

Caution: This shortcut works fine in both Win 7(32 and 64- bit) and Windows Server 2008 32-bit. For Vista user with 64-bit version, this shortcut is not advised as it leads to system crash- you need to boot in safe mode or to the command line and delete this folder.
