Explore GodMode: 

Just like any other normal folder, Windows 11/10 users can open the GodMode folder and customize all the PC settings pretty similar to the “small icons” options provided in the Control Panel.

For example, say you want to change the screen saver of your desktop. Just open the GodMode folder, go to the Personalization section, and there you will find an option that says Change screen saver, just click this option.

Certain features of GodMode appearing in Windows 11 and 10 are slightly different from the elements in Windows 8.1, which in turn varies from that in Windows 7; however, the overall end effect is the same.

For instance, when the AutoPlay option is accessed through GodMode,  it brings up the old Windows 7/8 AutoPlay dialog which is much more advanced when compared to those in the Windows 10 or Windows 11 version.

Rename GodMode folder:

Suppose one does not like the name ‘GodMode’, then you can even change the name of the folder as per your liking, the only requirement here is that one cannot remove the period placed just before the brackets, or change the string of letters and numbers inside the curly braces.

So you can just alter the “GodMode” portion of the string as per your liking because its the letters and numbers within the brackets which give the command to Windows and tells it what the user actually wants to see within the folder.

So choose a name that you want instead of GodMode and bask in the glory of this wonderful tool.
