How to control Windows with Super God Mode (and enjoy settings omniscience)

Finding all the options and features for Windows across the Settings app and Control Panel can be challenging. You never know quite where to go to find a specific setting. One tool that can put all the available options in one place is Super God Mode.

Though it sounds like a sequel to the God Mode tool, Super God Mode works a bit differently. Running the tool's batch file reads your Windows 10 or 11 environment and creates a series of folders with shortcuts to every key app, feature, and setting. Just open a specific folder and click on the shortcut for the feature you want to view or run. The included spreadsheets list every feature covered by the tool along with how and where to access it.

Super God Mode comes from the mind of ThioJoe, a developer who makes tech YouTube videos and sometimes creates random software tools as fun side projects. Now, here's how it works.

How to use Super God Mode in Windows

1. Download Super God Mode

First, browse to the GitHub page for Super God Mode. The page lists the latest version and improvements. Scroll down the page to the Assets section under the latest version and click the SuperGodMode-EasyLauncher.bat and Super_God_Mode.ps1 files to download them both into the same location on your PC.

2. Run the batch file

Run the SuperGodMode-EasyLauncher.bat file. A page for the Super God Mode script pops up. Leave all the settings as is to stick with the default values. Click the Run Script button to trigger the process.

3. Watch the script run

The command-line window displays each line of the script as it runs. When the script indicates that it's finished, press any key to close the window.

4. Access the folders for Super God Mode

Open File Explorer and return to the location where you downloaded the batch file and ps1 file. You should find a new folder name Super God Mode. Open the folder and you'll see the subfolders that contain the spreadsheets and the shortcuts created by the tool.

5. View the files and folders

You may want to open the Read Me file first to learn more about the tool. Otherwise, open the subfolder for Script Result Statistics. In here, you'll find a series of CSV files that you can open in Excel or a compatible viewer. Each spreadsheet lists the names of all the features and settings gathered by the tool along with their commands, locations, descriptions, and other details. Opening each spreadsheet will help you learn which features are accessible.

6. Open each folder

You'll see several different subfolders under the main Super God Mode folder. Each one is home to a specific set of apps, settings, or features. Here are the names and descriptions of the generated folders:

  • All Task Links - Provides shortcuts to all the tasks and settings accessible through Control Panel and Administrative Tools.
  • CLSID Shell Folder Shortcuts - Provides shortcuts to Windows system folders and features accessible through File Explorer and Control Panel.
  • Deep Links- Provides shortcuts to settings for Windows Defender, Windows Troubleshooters, and a few other features.
  • Hidden App Links - Provides shortcuts to the Feedback Hub, Microsoft Store, Windows Defender, the Movies & TV app, Game Bar, and your Microsoft Account.
  • Special Named Folders - Provides shortcuts to all the key system and feature folders in File Explorer.
  • System Settings - Provides shortcuts to all the options in the Settings app.
  • URL Protocols - Provides shortcuts to key Windows apps and options in the Settings app.

Open and browse through each folder to become familiar with the features and settings available. Double-click a specific shortcut to access that particular feature.

7. Find a specific setting

The biggest challenge here is that the features and settings are spread out across multiple folders, so you may not know where a certain one is located. But that's where search is your friend. To find a specific feature or setting, move to the parent folder for Super God Mode and type the name of the one you want to run in the Search field.
