Why would you do this? Just dont create the folder, all the items in the Godmode are accessible from other parts of the system and this is just a way to bunch all the functions into a single folder.

I'm not so sure. If you look at the discription of most of those codes you will see that most are direct access links to many of the options found within 'GodMode' and while some are not, a lot of the ones that do not appear in 'GodMode' (mine at least) are system specific, TabletPCSettings for example.

The other thing I just want to say is that it is all very well having these links, but why have a folder full of these folders when most of them are accessible through the original control panel. Nearly all of them do not give you hidden options or settings, they just give you direct access to them. I mean, how often do you need to change your BitLocker settings anyway?... lol
 
None of these are backdoors other than the original cascaded list. All of these are available from Control Panel in a couple clicks.

People who love this stuff haven't explored much of the OS.
