Software developers are given a shortcut to various internal settings, much like control panel. Dubbed "GodMode" by bloggers; it was not something Microsoft used internally to refer to the undocumented settings folders. Apparently, it has been included since Windows Vista but never discussed by Microsoft until bloggers stumbled upon it.<ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10426627-56.html Windows 7 has lots of 'GodModes' (exclusive), CNET.com, January 6, 2010]</ref> This did not circumvent any account or other security limitations, so it was not considered a to be a problem.<br />

To access this, a user needed only to create a new folder named <code>God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}</code>, where "God Mode" is the folder's name, although this name can be anything (such as "Settings," although this sounds less grandiose). The period and reference after the folder name link it to the system settings list.
