Windows 7 God Mode is an option, after enabling, gives you facility to list almost every settings in Windows 7 at one place. Windows 7 God Mode lets users access all of the operating system’s control panels from within a single folder.

By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.

The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.

How to enable Windows 7 God Mode

1. Create a new folder anywhere you want.

2. Rename it to : GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

3. Once that is done, the folder’s icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options. I’m not sure it’s my idea of playing God, but it is a handy way to get to all kinds of controls.

4. The God Mode Window will look something like this:

Though nothing surprising in unlocking Windows 7 God Mode. Its all magic of the string you have attached with the folder name. You can create a folder surprise.{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} and click on it. What do you get? The Personalization page. As you can see this is nothing special.

Note: The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.
