On Windows 10, God Mode refers to a system shortcut that shows you a vast list of Control Panel items. And while its huge list of over 200 system options can be daunting to look through, having it around is a good idea in case you need it.
As such, here are three ways to customize God Mode on Windows 10 to make it even better.
How to Enable God Mode on Windows 10
If you haven't turned it on yet, you can enable God Mode by creating a folder on your desktop. Rename the folder to the following string.
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The folder will transform into a shortcut file. If you open it, you will see a list of every single Control Panel setting available.
Be careful when playing with these settings, as some components are unmaintained and can cause inconsistencies in your system. Try to only change settings you're familiar with.
Getting the Most Out of God Mode for Windows 10
Now that God Mode is up and running, here are some neat tricks you can use to make it even better.
1. Cut Down on Clicks to Access the Control Panel
One of the immediate benefits of this system shortcut is being able to quickly open a searchable list of Control Panel items from anywhere on your system.
Pin this to your Quick Access or Start Menu to eliminate unnecessary clicks to access your most important features.
2. Spread Handy Shortcuts Around Your System
Every item listed in God Mode is a shortcut by itself. As such, you can drag these individual items anywhere in your system to create useful shortcuts for frequently-used features.

3. Customize God Mode
The God Mode folder can be rearranged and organized like any other folder in Windows. You can change the view settings, the order of the icons, or even hide entire categories.
If you Right Click on any of the available groups, you'll be able to Collapse Group. This will allow you to hide some of the settings you don't need, which may be a lot.
Doing this will allow you to make your own custom Control Panel.
Accessing Windows Easier With God Mode
Windows becomes a lot easier to customize and configure when all of the settings are in a tidy, searchable list. God Mode may be little more than a series of system shortcuts, but it can be helpful for users unfamiliar with the Windows system menu.
