"God Mode" in Windows

[rockitdontstopit]

I just saw this on x.com. If you create a new folder on your desktop and name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

It creates an icon that if you double click it, it resembles the Control Panel icon.

Is this useful or not?

That's been around since Windows Vista. Read the Wiki. It has all the things Control Panel has plus a few, I think - just not layered in menus. Once you become familiar with its organization, I suppose it can be quite useful.

While I have the icon on my desktop, I don't use it much because since I touch so many other PCs on a daily basis and often need to find things in the Control Panel, it's easier to remember just the one way of finding something, rather than two.
