Hi Denny and thank you!
God modes have been around for quite awhile. They’re nothing new, but because they’ve been written about so much in blogs and in tech newsletters, they’re becoming quite popular – in fact, some bloggers make them sound brand new. The god mode feature is not new. It’s present in Windows 7 and it was present in Windows Vista also. God mode in Vista and 7 is nothing more than every control panel applet in a single window.
Whether you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can add god mode to your PC or laptop by creating a folder and naming it (you can copy/paste the following as the folder name):
God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
God mode simply puts a lot of information at your fingertips – it doesn’t give you special permissions or any kind of super powers.
