How to Add All Tasks to Control Panel in Windows 10 (the God Mode folder)
You may be aware of a hidden "All Tasks" applet that lists all Control Panel items in a single view. Here's how to add it to the classic Control Panel in Windows 10.
In Windows 10, Microsoft is moving everything from the classic Control Panel to the Modern app called "Settings". It has already inherited many options which were exclusively available in the Control Panel. If you prefer using the classic Control panel, you might want to add some extra applets to it to make it more useful.
There is a way to access God Mode in Windows 10 with a shell command. Press Win + R shortcut keys together on the keyboard, and type the following in the Run box: shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
.
This will open the All Tasks folder, widely known as "God Mode". From there you can access all settings in Windows 10.
In Windows, it is easy to add custom items to the Control Panel. Check out the following blog post:
