Kalju Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 How to create a God Mode folder in Windows 8 (Available also in Vista, Windows 7) God Mode in Windows 7 also works in Windows 8, It took longer than I thought for someone to discover this. I dislike the name God Mode so I suggest using a name like “Super Control Panel” when you create the folder. This new folder reveals dozens of previously hidden or hard to find features. There is no secret to God Mode folders as they are based on the Canonical Names of Control Panel Items. A simple search of the Windows 8 registry using the GUID (global Unique Identifier) for a God Mode folder will display additional useful information. Step by Step: First open Windows 8’s “File Explorer” and set the ‘View” options to “File name extensions” and “Hidden items” Create a super sized God Mode Control Panel folder: The trick is in the first and last parts of the new folder name must be separated by a dot. The first part of the folder name can be any valid folder name immediately followed by a dot “MyFolderName.” (Note: do not include the quotation marks). The second part of the folder name is the GUID for the Control Panel item “MyFolderName.{GUID}”.Example: Super Control Panel.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (use copy-paste) Right click on the desktop and create a new folder. Next highlight and copy (Ctrl+C) the Super Control Panel folder name above (do not include the quotation marks). Using the folder you just created right click and select the rename option and press the 'Delete' key to remove the existing text and then paste (Ctrl+V) the text you just copied into the folder name box. Press enter to save the folder name change you entered in step #4. If you were successful you should see the folder icon change from the standard yellow folder to an Blue icon that represents the ‘Control Panel’. Double click on the folder to open up the Control Panel and review the more than 240 control panel functions now available. Tips: If you plan to create a significant number of these special folders it might help if you open Notepad and past the GUID strings (as listed in the article below) into Notepad from which you can later past into each God Mode folder name you create. For a complete list of Canonical Names and their GUID values:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330741(VS.85).aspx Create a central folder: There are dozens of these God Mode folders you can create and as a result you will end up with a cluttered desktop full of icons. You can place all these special folders inside one main folder on your desktop which you could name 'Tweak Toolbox'. Next drag each of your God Mode folders and drop it inside the toolbox folder. Now you will only have one icon on your desktop that contains all your God Mode folders. Get rid of the long string of numbers and letters: No doubt by now you have noticed the God Mode icon names on your desktop or in your toolbox folder contain not only the of the Control Panel item name but also at least some of the GUID string as well. There are two methods that you can use to remove the unwanted text and still keep the special God Mode functionality. The dot (period) that separates the Control Panel name from the GUID value can be preceded with spaces. This technique works even better if you have created a Central Folder and choose to display the icons in 'Detail Mode'. You can create a Shortcut. Open the 'Tweak Toolbox' folder I mentioned earlier, right click on any God Mode folders you have created and choose the 'Send to' option and click on 'Desktop (create shortcut)'. Next right click on the desktop shortcut you just created and rename it by deleting the GUID string value. Now you have a centralized toolbox and a few shortcuts to the God Mode folders you use most often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
