Activate God Mode in Windows 10 for Quick Access to Windows Commands

// Lifehacker

With Windows 10, settings are split between the Control Panel and the Settings app. If you’d like an all-inclusive starting point for Windows commands, enable God Mode.

God Mode is one of our favorite tweaks for previous versions of Windows

, and it’s alive and well with Windows 10.

To enable it, you do the same thing as previously: Create a new folder on your Windows desktop (New > Folder) and save it with the text below:

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

When you open that folder, you’ll have god-like access to 260+ functions and tools, some of them different from previous Windows versions. You can also drag and drop any of the commands to your desktop to create a shortcut for the command, which is especially helpful since the settings that have moved to the Settings app, while pinnable to the Start screen, aren’t able to be drag-and-dropped into shortcuts.
