Make a new folder for example under C: and rename it to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and you get a bunch hidden controls.The folders icon will change. :)

Very cool. I quickly googled a bit, seems only the code is relevant, so you can even name the folder pr0nmode and it'll work.

As far as I could gather the name is completely irrelevant, only the code matters. Godmode is just a widely accepted term.

The articles I came across give the impression that MS developers actually did come up with the name GodMode for this 'feature'.

Here: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/GodMode-Windows-7-How-to,9345.html

- If you haven't heard of it, GodMode is a feature that was revealed by CNet's Microsoft Correspondent, Ina Fried

and Here: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2010/01/05/windows-7-god-mode/#

- Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s been doing the rounds on the Internet. It enables “GodMode,” a term devised by the Microsoft development team

Meh I couldn't even browse drive C lol.

To remove it open cmd and type RmDir Master GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
No need to enter safe mode.

Edit: I have Vista x64 Prolly that's why I couldn't even browse my hard drive.

The above method brought everything the way it was before though.
