There is a cool feature on Windows 7 and Windows 8 called GodMode which will enable a user to quickly and easily access a huge amount of system maintenance and administrative tools all in one place. It is one of the hidden features of Windows and can be easily activated.
Step 1: Create a New Folder on your Desktop
Step 2: Name the folder GodMode{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. As soon as you rename the folder, the string of letter and numbers will disappear and the folder icon will be changed.
Step 3: Double click on the icon and you will see all the controls in one place.
GodMode gives you access to the following controls in one convenient folder:
- Action Center
- Administrative Tools
- Auto Play
- Backup and Restore
- Bitlocker Drive Encryption
- Color Management
- Credential Manager
- Date and Time
- Default Programs
- Desktop Gadgets
- Device Manager
- Devices and Printers
- Display
- Ease of Access
- Folder Options
- and pretty much everything else you would have in the Control Panel
Have fun!
