This is quite an interesting Windows Hack.. GodMode is an uber settings view that aggregates configuration settings into a single pane.
Create a new folder and rename it to:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
and you’ll then see an icon like this:
which launches a view like this:
basically a searchable list of configuration options similar to what you would get if you searched the start menu.

One cool feature that this enables is the ability to a create shortcut to a particular setting (by right-clicking on the desired setting) that can subsequently be bound to the keyboard.. so if, for example, you want to have speedy accessto your network adapters, open GodMode and search for the keyword adapters. In the search results right-click on view network connections and make a shortcut. Then, drag the shortcut into the start menu and assign a keyboard shortcut by right clicking and selecting properties on the shortcut
and typing the key combination you want:
Now, whenever you press ctrl-shift F1 you’ll get your network connections:
As an aside it seems that GodMode shares the same search bug as the start menu in that if you type adapters, it finds the required View network connections accelerator:
where as if you type connections, it doesn’t find it.
Oops.
Anyhow, enjoy your keyboard accelerated acts of God.
