Want to activate GodMode in Windows 7? Here’s how!

Windows 7 users are all abuzz about the OS and its GodMode. If you haven’t heard of it, GodMode is a feature that was revealed by CNet’s Microsoft Correspondent, Ina Fried. GodMode is a folder that brings together a long list of customization settings allowing you to change all your settings from one place. Neat huh? It’s very easy to enable and damn useful if you tweak things around a lot.

I’ve broken it down into five-step process to avoid confusion:

Step 1: Right click.

Step 2: Click create folder.

Step 3: Name your sparkly, new folder this, “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” and press enter.
