The “God Mode” or Master Control Panel is a feature that can be found hidden in Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista. The hidden mode allows you to view and adjust all settings within Windows. In Windows, the same mode offers easy access to all the administrative options.
God Modes are nothing but developer shortcuts or CLSID (Windows Class Identifiers) to open Windows Special Folders, built into Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista, that enables easy access to certain settings and information about the operating system.
The administrative options appear scattered in the Control Panel of Windows but when in the secret mode, the same options appear well organized under a single window.
How to create a God Mode in Windows 11/10
To be precise, the so-called God Mode is nothing new and brings in all aspects of Windows 11/10 control in a single place. It collects all of the Control Panel functions, interface customization or other accessibility options under a single window.
The mode is also known as “All Tasks” and you can get more information about it from Windows Registry. Simply type regedit in RUN or Start Menu Search box and press Enter. It’ll open Registry Editor. Go to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Alternatively, you can press “Ctrl+F” in Registry Editor and search for the following string. It’ll open the same key for you.
{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Here is a simple hack that can enable you to place ALL the Tasks Control Panel and System Settings in ONE place!
You can create all God Modes with a click using a BAT file or use our GodMode Creator.
Enable God Mode in Windows 11/10/8/7
Create a new folder on your Windows desktop.
Name the folder as :
Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The icon will change!
Now open the folder and see the magic of Windows Registry!
You will see that the folder contains all the shortcuts to the Tasks Control Panel and System Settings.
Move the folder to the C drive, and create its shortcut there. Cut paste this shortcut in folder C:\Users\Owner\Start Menu\Programs. This will display the shortcut in the Start Menu for easy access.
This works quite well on my 32bit Windows. But if you find that this hack makes your explorer.exe unstable or makes it crash, I suggest you use the cmd to delete this folder, as follows:
Run cmd and copy-paste this command and hit enter :
rd "Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"
or alternatively, if it doesn’t help
rd "c:\users\%username%\desktop\Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"
PS : This tweak may cause the 64-bit version of Windows to crash.
This registry hack is available in Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista.
