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. There is no need to search through nested menus. Every setting that Windows includes is available in one place.
The GUID {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} is what activates the feature.
This repository also includes an enhanced PowerShell dashboard that provides a modern interface for accessing these tools more efficiently.
Use the included god_mode.ps1 script for a modern, interactive experience.
What the script actually does:
- Builds a native Windows Forms application (no external dependencies)
- Organises settings into clearly defined categories such as System, Network, and Admin Tools
- Uses clickable cards to launch tools instantly
- Provides a real-time search bar to quickly find settings by name
- Launches tools via:
ms-settings:URIs (modern Settings app)control.exe(Control Panel).mscconsoles (e.g. Event Viewer, Services)- Shell GUID shortcuts
- Includes a button to create and open the classic God Mode folder on the Desktop
This is not modifying Windows in any way. It is a visual launcher for built-in tools.
To run:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator
- Navigate to the folder containing the script
- Run:
.\god_mode.ps1
- 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 immediately
⚠️ The name before the dot can be anything. The GUID is what activates the feature.
The script organises commonly used system tools into categories such as:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| 🔐 System & Security | Windows Update, BitLocker, Firewall, Backup |
| 🖥️ Hardware & Sound | Device Manager, Sound, Mouse, Keyboard |
| 🌐 Network & Internet | Network Connections, Proxy, Sharing |
| 🎨 Personalisation | Display, Fonts, Taskbar, Lock Screen |
| ♿ Ease of Access | Narrator, Magnifier, On-Screen Keyboard |
| 🕒 Clock & Region | Time, Language, Region |
| 📦 Programs & Features | Uninstall apps, Windows Features |
| 🛠️ Admin Tools | Event Viewer, Services, Registry Editor |
| 👤 User Accounts | UAC, Credentials, Work or School |
The manual God Mode folder contains 200+ shortcuts to Control Panel applets and configuration tools in a single list.

- Use the dashboard for speed: The script provides significantly faster navigation than the classic folder
- Use search immediately: Start typing to filter settings in real time
- Fallback to full list: Use “Open Full God Mode Folder” for the complete legacy list
- No installation required: The script runs as a standalone tool
- Permissions: Some tools will still require administrator privileges when opened
Is this safe?
Yes. Both the script and the folder use built-in Windows functionality. No registry edits or system modifications are performed.
What is the difference between the script and the folder?
The folder is a flat list of all settings. The script is a curated, searchable interface that launches the same tools more efficiently.
Does it work on Windows 11?
Yes, including support for modern ms-settings: pages.
Can it be deleted?
Yes. Deleting the script or the folder removes everything. No permanent changes are made.
Why do some tools still ask for administrator access?
Because those tools are part of Windows system management and require elevated permissions by design.
