Easier access to system settings on windows

[Sangoma]

For those who don't know about it.

Right click on an empty space on the desktop, and select new folder

The new folder will appear waiting for you to enter a name.

Copy and paste this into the name

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The folder will change appearance and double clicking on it will bring up most useful system settings without having to dig though windows

Don't change what you don't know though

Especially useful on 10 and 11

Thanks Steve, that looks useful, just done it on my Win11 laptop. It will indeed save some keypresses and time

Interesting. The GodMode prefix is funny, reminding me of cheat codes for games.

haha it was either Wolfenstein or Doom that it reminded me of!

Mechwarrior for me, though I did play doom just a little.

Doom, definitely.

I am in no way a games person but my wife is very much so. Let's just say that when she challenged me to play the game, I went looking for a cheat and found the god mode...
