Similar to Windows 7, an explorer shell folder exists that will display all control panel settings. A few years ago this became known as “God Mode” because it consolidates control of your PC and users began to name the shell folder “God Mode”. Shell folders in Windows work based on the folder GUID within curly brackets. For example {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} is the actual GUID for shell folder of the control panel all tasks view. To use it you just need to create a folder and type Anything.{GUID} and it will work. So for “God Mode” I could use GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} or even Tweaks.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and you get the same result.
Here are the detailed steps:
Right click on your desktop and select New Folder.
Type in or copy and paste the following as the name.
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Then just hit Enter and the folder icon will change.

If you are among the millions of “cord cutters” that are saying goodbye to cable and satellite, or if you just want to gain access to the dozens of free channels broadcast over-the-air then this article is for you. Similar to tuning in over-the-air channels on a TV you will need an antenna and a tuner to receive local TV channels. In order to watch TV on Windows 10 I like to use HD Homerun network...

Shopping for a hard to find item on Amazon.com that is always sold out? I was recently on the hunt for an external GPU enclosure that would show up in small quantities on Amazon. After failing to snag one by randomly checking periodically, I figured there must be a better way. Microsoft Flow to the rescue!
