Looks like this has been around since 2007, although I only just found out about it. A search here didn't bring up anything, so I felt I should say something for those who don't know.

So, for Vista and later, you can create a desktop icon and when opened you get a list of 100 or more control-panel-type settings all conveniently grouped together. For some reason it's called god mode.

1. Right-click on an empty part of your desktop
2. Choose to create a new folder
3. Give it the name of: Godmode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and save.
4. Double-click to see the goodies.

I tried it on XP but it didn't work, so it's definitely for Vista as a minimum.

With Vista and Win7, the icon will have the name you pasted from above, but on Win10 the name is blank. In all cases the icon is the same one used by Control Panel.
