Want to activate GodMode in Windows 7? Here's how!

Windows 7 users are all abuzz about the OS and its GodMode. If you haven't heard of it, GodMode is a feature that was revealed by CNet's Microsoft Correspondent, Ina Fried. GodMode is a folder that brings together a long list of customization settings allowing you to change all your settings from one place. Neat huh? It's very easy to enable and damn useful if you tweak things around a lot.

I've broken it down into five-step process to avoid confusion:

Step 1: Right click.

Step 2: Click create folder.

Step 3: Name your sparkly, new folder this, "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" and press enter.

Step 4: Blink as the folder changes form to look like the control panel.

Step 5: Open the folder and bask in all your godly, control panel-y power.

    Just so you all know... as neat as it is.. not GodMod, bit of a trick really.

    The folder will be named whatever you put before the period.

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

    Will give you an elephant control panel.

    Neat non the less.

    Cool, but I don't see myself using it much. It is nice to have everything in one place, though.
