Title: Enable GodMode Windows 10
Post by: Mick on April 14, 2018, 05:41:03 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.

To be honest I only stumbled upon this myself while I was searching for something else, had to give it a try, and was surprised to see just how many settings there is.  Some I probably haven't seen in the past. 

Anyway, enjoy.  ;)

Followed your lead, may come in handy, though as an a technical person, I hardly ever touch the settings.

Thanks for the simple instructions (and the chance to copy/paste the name  :)). I've now done it; I've always disliked not knowing where to find a setting I need to change and the difficulty of getting anything other than the most simple settings easily.

Strange, when I read your posts I thought it might be something to do with the latest Windows updates.  Then tried mine and it still works perfectly.  You might be able to find something on google reference that error.
