Everything you will find in the Action Center, Backup and Restore, Autorun, Desktop Gadgets, Devices and Printers, is all stored at one central location, in God Mode folder.

    nothing earth shattering. This has been there since Vista. But since everybody was busy finding flaws in Vista & the name “God Mode” sounds too good, it’s all over the Internet.

    Great tips. However, for some reason that only the gods of the blogosphere can explain, an old Windows trick has taken on new life.

    I think it is overrated.
