Create a shortcut to access quick settings from the desktop

In the above section, you see that we can create a shortcut to access God Mode on Windows 10 by renaming a folder with a special code. This method can also be used to create shortcuts to quickly access the settings menus from the desktop. For example, you can rename the folder with the code {D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153} to quickly access Administrative Tools.

Other codes you can use include:

Network settings: {F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}

Bluetooth settings: {28803F59-3A75-4058-995F-4EE5503B023C}

Enable God Mode on Windows 8/7

Step 1:Right-click on the desktop and select New => Folder.

If you don’t want a desktop icon, you can create a new folder on the C: drive using Windows Explorer or My Computer. You can do it by right-clicking on the C: drive and select New > Folder. Now you can access it at any time.

Step 2: Copy and paste the name for the new folder:

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

See the illustrative example below:

Step 3: Folders on your desktop will now have a God Mode shortcut.

It can find all hidden settings and modify them when you click access.

Note on Windows 8: If you get just a new folder with numbers and letters in it, you can delete that new folder and recreate it on Windows Explorer (lower left) and change the settings under the View tab of Windows Explorer. Then double-check the boxes, file extensions, names, and hidden ones.

If you do not want to activate God Mode manually, you can download some of the programs below to your device and install them. Programs that will enable God Mode on your Windows 8 and Windows 7 computers are:

• God Mode Maker
• MyGodMode

Note when activating God Mode on Windows

• Windows XP does not support God Mode.
• You need to create a new folder; do not use an existing folder (containing other files and subfolders). Because after turning into a God Mode folder, all files and folders in it will be hidden, and during God Mode’s work, you cannot access those files and subfolders.
• You cannot use Windows Explorer to rename the God Mode folder to the original folder, but must use the Command Prompt at the location where the God Mode folder was created and use the following command to rename the folder you want, for example, Thewindowsfan:

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

• The word “God Mode” in the folder name can be changed to anything you want; it’s only meant to help you identify what the folder is, as long as the “God Mode” part is exactly the same as you see above.
• The folder icon will change to the Control Panel icon, and the characters after “GodMode” in the name will disappear.
