I guess after reading this, creating the folder, and testing it out I have concluded a couple of things:
1)Having what looks like all of the setting links under one folder is handy, however nowhere near God like
2)By this point in time, any notion that the great and powerful MS would actually create a backdoor for the world to find that could make their product more powerful/useful is absurd. You want control, use Linux.
3)The oxymoron of actually using "God" with relation to a MS product was actually very funny, however whatever kind of uber-geek/idiot it takes to make literal interpretations of church, God, and the trinity in this particular forum definitely would resemble the offspring derived from mixing of street-drugs/insecticides with consensual sex more so than divine intervention... with all do respect, good find!

[citation][nom]mitch074[/nom]...And people complain that the Linux command line is hard.It sure is harder to do vim /etc/fstab than Godmode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}Latter is much more intuitive. Indeed.[/sarcasm]still, damn useful trick.[/citation]
fstab only configures one aspect of the system. that's hardly the point. if you could do vi /etc/all.conf it'd be a lot more like the windows thing - except in linux it probably won't actually work half the time or it'll break when you do a apt get upgrade ...

[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]Shows how much you know...Jesus = God = Holy SpiritIt's called a Trinity. Three persons in One. One person in Three forms, yet one God. It's a hard one to grasp mentally, but you'll get it after a while.[/citation]
Thanks for clearing that up. Here I was thinking that the Trinity was Tooth Fairy = Easter Bunny = Santa Claus! My bad!

Ya know, the only reason this thinbg is called God Mode is thats the word at the start. You could just as easily call it Dave, or Trippy Shit or Juggling Ball, or Enhanced Control Panel. I already called mine Tweak7 and it still works perfectly fine.
God Mode is not what it is, that's just some arbitrary name that someone decided to call it and I seriously doubt MS decided to call it that, maybe some former fan of Doom thinking that iDclip was still funky shit.
As far as all the religeous nuts arguing about the Trinity, thanks a lot for the 600 years of Christian Dark Ages, if it wasn't for people like you we could have been exploring the galaxy by now.

UH....
Isn't this sooo much easier than clicking through about 2~6 pages of pretty pages/windows to get to a bloody setting?! This is why I still use "classic" mode for control panel in XP~Windows 7. I admit Win7 version is pretty good for the novice.
Renaming Add remove programs still throws me off since it WAS at the top of the list. Oh well.
"god mode" is very handy.

[citation][nom]joevan[/nom]This is not necessary because the search feature in 'start' can display these shortcuts.[/citation]
Except that you have to know exactly what you are looking for and even then its hard to find everything or you have to go trough dozen different things and menus.
This should be put into administration tools menu.

[citation][nom]michaelahess[/nom]Yup, religios folk need three people to do what us smart folk can do with one. Just sayin....[/citation]
Spelling religious "religios", along with the other spelling mistakes I've seen you make, doesn't seem to support that you're actually in the "smart folk" camp. 😉 "Just sayin...."
(Not agreeing or disagreeing with the incredibly un-Techie topic of God.)

Yeah, wasn't composing in word with those and didn't feel like spell checking, damn sucks when I work for a living and don't have all the time in the world to argue with zealots AND check my spelling. Oh well.

[citation][nom]kavic[/nom]I think the reason that this was not out and easy to get to is because the majority of people tend to not know what they are doing, so the last think MS wanted to do was make it so the user can potently screw things up. So having this activated by a special means puts the power in the hands of the ones who know how to use it or have the common sense to know how to use it.[/citation]
I understand this completely. However, this is also why I DESPISE this type of practice. If I'm paying for something, it's mine, and I want to be able to use it. MS is not my daddy who needs to hold my hand as I cross the street, but that's how this practice comes across. Same reason I hated AOL way back when, a dumbed down internet interface.
Let me ask you this, if what you said is true, why didn't MS make this info available?? Why did someone have to discover it?? No, they didn't even make the info available to those who might want it. They have their fingers in our cookie jars (well, not mine, I'm MS free). They exercise waaaaaay too much control over something that you've purchased.
This is analogous to certain more expensive vehicles on the market today that will take over some of the vehicles controls to a certain degree during certain situations. Driving a Lexus and getting a little out of control??? It's computer is programmed to adjust the steering input, to override what you are doing. Same with the brakes.
Praise the practice of "protecting the poor user from themselves" if you want, but that will end in a level of control that none of us will want. Wait and see

libraryeli is correct in one aspect, dumbing things down, dumbs us down as well. If we don't know how to drive without crutches, what happens if they fail? If we don't know how an OS works, and we find ourselves without help, we're screwed. Forcing people to learn how to do what they want, without crutches is the only way we can further ourselves.
Those that don't want to learn how something works, and just "use" it, are plain lazy, no other excuse for it, other than maybe thinking they are all high and mighty and don't NEED to know as their underlings will do that for them.

[citation][nom]jobz000[/nom]What is this guy ranting about? If you want complete control, why are you using Windows? Use Linux and change the source code to your heart's content.You are just pissed because you didn't discover it first![/citation]
I do use linux at home. At work however, I'm forced to use windows. I don't really care one way or another what you windows using folks do. I'm content to use linux and to be able to do as little or as much to the OS as I want.
I had a problem with MS products, so I left. I just think it's a trend in society that can have nothing but ill effects down the road, the dumbing down that is.
