The “God Mode” or
Master Control Panel is a feature that can be found hidden in Windows 7 and
Windows Vista. The hidden mode allows you to view and adjust all settings
within Windows. In Windows 7 the same mode offers an easy access to all the
administrative options.
The
administrative options appear scattered in the Control Panel of windows 7 but
when in the secret mode, the same options appear well organized under a single
window.
Master Control Panel / God Mode in Windows
To be
precise, the so called God Mode brings in all aspects of Windows Vista/Windows
7 control in a single place. It collects all of the Control Panel functions,
interface customization or other accessibility options under a single window.
The
mode is also known as “All Tasks” and you can get more information about it
from Windows Registry. Simply type regedit in RUN or Start Menu Searchbox and
press Enter. It’ll open Registry Editor. Go to to following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Alternatively,
you can press “Ctrl+F” in Registry Editor and search for the
following string. It’ll open the same key for you.
{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Here
is a simple hack that can enable you to place ALL the Tasks Control Panel and System
Settings in ONE place!
Enable Master Control Panel/God Mode in Windows
Create
a new folder on your Windows desktop.
Name
the folder as :
Master
Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The icon will change !
Now
open the folder and see the magic of Windows Registry!
You
will see that the folder contains all the shortcuts to the Tasks Control Panel
and System Settings.
Move
the folder to the C drive, and create its shortcut there. Cut paste this
shortcut in folder C:\Users\Owner\Start Menu\Programs.
This will display the shortcut in the Start Menu for easy access.
This
works quite well on my 32bit Vista Ultimate. But if you find that this hack
makes your explorer.exe unstable or makes it crash, I suggest you use the cmd
to delete this folder, as follows:
Run
cmd and copy paste this command and hit enter :
rd
“Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”
or
alternatively, if it doesnt help
rd
“c:\users\%username%\desktop\Master
Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”
PS : This tweak is incompatible with 64-bit
version of Windows Vista.
This
registry hack is available in windows 7 too.
