Hi,

Came across this and thought it might be useful to someone here.

Windows 7 Godmode is a window that makes all tweak-able and un-twaek-able features of Windows 7 available in just one window.
All you have to do is create a folder anywhere in Windows 7 and rename it as (created mine on the desktop).

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

This is no prank and you should give it a try.
Cheers and have a happy new year.

Hi,

For those who have to see before they try. I have attached the screen shots.
Have fun trying it now!

Cheers

Chineke!

It worketh!!



Please be careful with this tool. Don't play god, na rough play

what does it do exactly ?

It just like puts all your Control Panel and MSConfig tools in one window. That's a rough explanation based what what I am seeing. Nothing new really.
You know like when pop adam ate that fruit and began seeing things he never saw b4. The tools kinda like puts everything right in front of ya.
So, a rookie formatting his drive is very easy now, heheh.

its not really "god mode" per se -

http://www.askvg.com/truth-behind-hidden-secret-god-mode-found-in-windows-7/

So everyone is talking about the new "God Mode" found in Windows 7. Is it really new to Windows 7? Is it really a hidden secret thing? Lets understand it with the help of a very simple story.

2 persons are discussing about "GodMode":

Person 1: Did you know Windows 7 contains a hidden secret "God Mode"?

Person 2: (Surprised, ) Really? I didn't. Can you please let me know how to access it?

Person 1: Sure. Just create a new folder anywhere in Windows 7. You can create it on Desktop or within Windows Explorer and give it following name:

God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Voilla. Now you'll have access to all Control Panel settings page in a single place as shown in following screenshot:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Windows_7_Gode_Mode.png

Person 2: (Excited, ) Wow. Amazing. Its too cool. But hey! I tried to use my name instead of "God Mode" while renaming the folder and its still working. So what's so special about giving it name "God Mode"?

Person 1: (Confused and looking at the front wall, ) Hmmm. Guess what, you are right mate. I checked and it works for any string but the code given after the decimal point is must and should not be changed.

Person 2: Yeah. So "God Mode" has nothing to do with this special Control Panel page. I investigated and found that actually this page is called "All Tasks" and you can get more information about it from Windows Registry.

Type regedit in RUN or Startmenu Searchbox and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor. Now go to following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Or press "Ctrl+F" in Registry Editor and search for {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} string. It'll open the same key for you.

Now you can see, this key have "All Tasks" as default value.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Windows_7_Gode_Mode_in_Registry.png

Person 1: True mate.

Person 2: Actually this special "All Tasks" page is neither any easter egg nor any hidden secret thing. It was developed by Windows developers to show search results. Whenever you search for any term in control panel window, the "All Tasks" page is searched for the term and if any search result is found, its shown to the user.

In fact, there is no need to create a new folder to access it. You can directly access it using following command in RUN or Windows Explorer addressbar:

shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

You can also create a shortcut using following command:

explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

And its not any new thing in Windows 7. It was also present in Windows Vista.

Person 1: Says nothing and leaves the room,

PS: If you want a ready-made "Windows 7 God Mode" shortcut, download following ZIP file, extract it and run the extracted file. It'll directly launch the so called hidden secret GodMode:

bloody spambot

you can also give it any name u like

i named mine control panel++

Hi,

Finally people are beginning to try it, please do be careful, hence the name GODMODE.
You can destroy your machine with this tool o.

Should you go too far with it and need to reset, feel free to come here for suggestions.
Have fun!

hmmmm not for me. . . . .

Came across this today on cnettv. Really crazy stuff!Its not compulsory you must name it Godmode sha its just what the guys who stumbled upon it named it.What actually does the trick is the string attached at the end.

Na dis type of thing dc dey encourage!

When trouble sleep, yanga go wake. Palava him dey find, palava e go get.

All dis noobs wit dis power!

Heh heh heh,

There are several other Godmodes inherent in both Vista andWindows 7.
See excerpts below:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10426627-56.html


Those intrigued by the "GodMode" in Windows 7 may be interested to know that there are many other similar shortcuts hidden within the operating system.

Intended for developers as a shortcut to various internal settings, such features have been around since Vista and even before, according to the head of Microsoft's Windows division, who tells CNET that the so-called GodMode settings folder uncovered by bloggers is just one of many undocumented developer features included in Windows.

In an e-mail interview, Steven Sinofsky, Windows division president, said several similar undocumented features provide direct access to all kinds of settings, from choosing a location to managing power settings to identifying biometric sensors.

As with the all-encompassing GodMode uncovered by bloggers, these other settings can be accessed directly by creating a new folder with any name (GodMode or otherwise) and then including a certain text string. Sinofsky noted more than a dozen strings create particular settings folders, in addition to the overarching GodMode folder option.

Sinofsky and others say the term GodMode was coined by bloggers; it was not something the company used internally to refer to the settings folders. Although Microsoft maintains many such undocumented developer commands to access such settings, all are replicated by the operating system's Control Panel settings.

Such undocumented means of accessing various settings have occurred in previous versions of Windows, and the GodMode identified by bloggers was also present in Windows Vista. Some users of the 64-bit version of Vista, however, say invoking the GodMode folder caused their machines to crash. Microsoft says it has yet to reproduce that problem, though several readers have said they have encountered problems.

It seems that the folks in Redmond have gotten a kick out of all the attention that the Godmode has gotten and have decided to have fun with it. Sinofsky sent a list of other commands that also create special folders (see list below).

Given the Vista issues, though, I would try these only on a Windows 7 machine, ideally a test machine. To make it work, create a new folder with any name, then a period, then one of the text strings below.

For example, the first one could be a folder named "thankscnet.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}" (use everything inside quotes--but not the quotes themselves).

Here's the list of strings:

{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}

I don't think I'll be trying anyone pretty soon.

even if microsoft would insult God by spelling it G.o.d, why wouldn't we place it the right way?

godmode instead of Godmode
