Unlock every built-in Windows settings panel in one place.
GodMode is a hidden Windows shell feature that exposes all Control Panel and system settings in a single, flat, scrollable folder. No more hunting through nested menus. Every setting Windows ships with is just one click away.
The GUID {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} is what activates the feature.
- Right-click on your Desktop → New → Folder
- Rename the folder to exactly:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
- Press Enter
- The folder icon will change to a Control Panel icon
- Double-click to open and all settings will appear instantly
⚠️ The name before the dot (GodMode) can be anything. The GUID is what activates the feature.

- Pin to taskbar: Right-click the folder and select Pin to taskbar for one-click access at any time
- Multiple folders: Several folders can be created with different names before the dot. They all work and remain in sync

- No administrator account required: Creating the folder works on a standard user account; some settings within will still require elevation
Is this safe?
Yes. This is a documented, if unofficial, Windows feature. It does not modify the registry or install anything. It simply creates a folder with a specific name.
Does it work on Windows 11?
Yes, it is fully supported.
Can it be deleted?
Yes, it can be deleted like any normal folder. No system changes are made.
The folder icon did not change. What happened?
Ensure there are no extra spaces in the folder name and that the GUID has been copied exactly, including the curly braces { }.
