Windows Vista/7 God Mode Shortcut

You’ve probably heard of this little easter egg before, but in case you haven’t, Microsoft offers a myriad of various administration tools that are only available in a hidden Easter Egg shortcut, the GodMode shortcut!

It’s pretty easy to get access to Windows God Mode, here’s how:

• Create a new folder where you would like your God Mode folder to reside.
• Rename the newly created folder to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
• Your folder will change to a “Control Panel” looking icon, and its name will set to GodMode. You’re done!

When you open the GodMode folder, you’ll be presented with a host of options, which all are a pretty granular version of your existing Windows Control Panel; however, there are new options to play with, and I’ll leave the discovery of those as an excercise for the reader.
