This new window is called GodMode because it puts all aspects of the management of Windows at your fingertips in one location. This allows you to quickly configure Windows settings or hardware from one screen. In order to access GodMode you must first create a special folder on your desktop as described below. It is important to note that GodMode only works for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 7, 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2008, and 32-bit versions of Windows Vista.

If at any time you would like to remove GodMode, all you have to do is delete the folder you created. If you have any questions about GodMode or how to use it, please feel free to post them in our Windows forums.
