Exploring the Power of Super God Mode
You may already be acquainted with the concept of God Mode in Windows, a feature that consolidates all administrative tools and control options into a single, easily accessible interface. However, this functionality is somewhat hidden, requiring users to create a specially named folder to unlock its potential.
Beyond the standard God Mode, there exists an even more robust alternative known as Super God Mode. Developed by YouTuber ThioJoe, this innovative PowerShell script significantly expands the capabilities of God Mode by generating shortcuts to a variety of special shell folders, named folders, task links, system settings, deep links, and URL protocols within Windows. This enhancement allows users to navigate a broad spectrum of system settings and features with remarkable ease.
Some of the standout features of Super God Mode include:
- Creation of shortcuts for various Windows components, including:
- CLSID-based shell folders
- Named special folders
- Task links that lead to sub-pages within shell folders and control panel menus
- System settings accessed via ms-settings: links
- Deep links providing direct access to various settings menus across Windows
- URL protocols for streamlined navigation
- Hidden App Links, which are internal-use and undocumented URL links utilized by applications
- Generation of CSV files that contain detailed information about the shortcuts created
- Storage of XML content retrieved from shell32.dll and other sources for future reference
- A user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) that simplifies configuration
While the script can be executed manually, utilizing the .Bat launcher offers a more straightforward approach. To get started, follow these steps:
- Download the latest version of the script from the provided link.
- Download the launcher batch file and place it in the same directory as the script.
- Run the batch file to initiate the process.
