Are you interested in a free set of tools to make using Windows a LOT easier?

[msc545]

Just do this:

Right-click on a blank area of your desktop, choose New and then Folder, and then rename the folder “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” (without the quotation marks). Press Enter to confirm the renaming, and you should see the icon change to look like the old Windows Control Panel icon. Double-click on this new icon to launch the God Mode window.

As you’ll see, this window is a treasure trove of shortcuts to other places on the system (click on the small arrows to expand or collapse any of the sections). You’ll find tools here for freeing up disk space, creating new user accounts, setting up new hardware devices to connect to Windows, and much more.

For example, double-click on the Uninstall a program link to see a full list of applications currently installed on Windows. You can see when each program was installed, the name of its developer, and how much space it’s taking up. If there are programs you no longer need or use, click on them and choose Uninstall.

What's windows? 😂. For those of you reading this who are concerned about his suggestion being spyware or malware I can assure you it's not, it's completely valid and trustworthy. If your technologically illiterate, I mean really illiterate, then this is a handy shortcut. You can do all of the things that this shortcut can do but it does make it easier if you don't know what you're doing.

Yes! I love it. Icon looks like this in windows 11 Pro

this one shortcut will be (hopefully still available) particularly helpful and convenient very soon... as Windows seems to be planning to eliminate the classic Control Panel.. lol

I've got that path memorized and even backwards... lol

Well I'll be... that's a nifty little thing there. Good job buddy.

[msc545]

Thanks Boop I hope you enjoy it and it is useful for you. I want to be clear that I didn't originate it but simply just passed it on. I don't really know who originated it but it helps me a lot too.

I might show this to my hardwre class after I check it out.

[ProbablyClueless]

Woah... how did you figure out about this?

[msc545]

I didn't originate this. I'm just passing it on.

Got it. Very cool tip!
