By creating a folder, and giving it a specific name, you will get access to loads of options:

To enable GodMode, you need to do the following:
 

  1. Create a new folder, anywhere you like
  2. Call the new folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

 
That’s it. You’ll see the folder icon changes, adn looks like a control panel, and you can create shortcuts to it wherever you want.
 
Note: You don’t actually have to call the folder GodMode. What’s important is that you leave everything behind the . as shown above.
