Windows Vista/7 Godmode

ok, the main idea was to have all of the windows controls gathered in one place by renaming a new folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} . From the way I see it though, if it existed since vista's days, why was it not put somewhere under plain sight instead of having to do such a move to reach it? and why name it godmode? doesn't really sound like something that was meant to be officially included in the OS :S

P.S. I heard vista x64 crashes with this.

Vista crashes just fine without it as well. I regularly got BSoDs every few minutes just after 1 week of use

Edit: lol GodMode really exists...

this folder/function isn't named godmode, that's just how you named it as you renamed the folder - the important part is the string behind the dot.
for example OddMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} works too!

So it depends on the part after the dot, I'd say extension but this is a folder here. Still, I can't get to try this because I'm still an XP user

Unless your hardware is over ten years old, you really should upgrade to 7.

This is actually pretty handy. It's what the Control Panel should look like.

Why "ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C". Why not "ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01D". What does that string refer to?

The string points to something in the registry. For example, if you get the string for the recycle bin, you could make a fully functional recycle bin anywhere you want and name it anything you want.

Heh, you can get a full list of Canonical Names of Control Panel Items here off from Microsoft's 'trusty' MSDN documentation:

Really, God Mode doesn't exist officially, it's just somebody named it that way to gather attention.

Works for me. Idk what I will change in it though. I think my windows runs the way I want

It Is doable, my recycle bin is named 'The Abyss' (and I don't mean the shortcut, once you open it the folder itself is named 'The Abyss'...)

Though forgotten where I got the tip how to do it...
