GodMode

[besb]

I use GodMode on my W7 system and decided to give it a try on W8.
It gives immediate access to a large number of tweaks and hidden settings.
I have not tested them all so use with care and have back-up in case of differences encountered between 8 & 7.
to use create a folder on the desktop name it

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

the folder icon will change to that of a control panel.
Just open it and you have access to over a hundred hidden settings.

Yes, I have something similar on my desktop context menu.

Yep, it is handy. In addition, this may be an easier method to create the "Control Panel All Tasks" (GodMode) shortcut with in Windows 8 as well.
