As the Title indicates, here I am going to write about one fantastic feature available in Windows 7 with the name “GodMode”.

What is GodMode ?

GodMode is basically a content folder consisting nearly all settings and modding options (Control Panel Options, Windows Settings Options, Performance Options, Display, Gadgets and much more other options). In total it allows you to perform 283 settings/modding actions.

Take a look at the screenshot I snapped from my GodMode:

GodMode can be created by adding a special set of characters to the folder name.
