This is a very useful entry....easy to access and easy to create. Works perfectly on Win7 as well.

As noted by enthusiasts around the web, there is a simple way to access a hidden "God Mode" in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10. With a name like that, your expectations might be a little high -- and no, Windows is not secretly invincible -- but the trick is awesome nevertheless.

"God Mode" simply provides users with a centralized Control Panel for all of Windows' settings, from changing your desktop background to setting up a VPN or partitioning your hard drive. In all, there are nearly 50 categories and most have several entries.

It's almost comical how simple it is to access it. Simply, create a new folder -- anywhere is fine, I created one on my desktop -- and rename that folder to:

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