Tips:- More Windows 7 Special Hidden Folders

Tips:- More Windows 7 Special Folders

26 Jan 2010 @ 9:36 AM

Everybody is excited about that “GodMode” code that magically creates a special folder. And admittedly, it is pretty handy, although the name is a misnomer. If you aren’t in the Administrators group, seeing that folder will do nothing to elevate you to true God Mode.

There are more folders like this, all documented by Microsoft. The whole list is here, just grab the string between the curly brackets {like.this.text.here} and create a new folder somewhere. The name should be name.{code}

official list from Microsoft is here:
