I think anyone that would actually take advantage of even HALF of the things listed in “God Mode” would already either know how to do this from having read the MSDN article or TechNet article, or would know how to accomplish the things listed in “God Mode” by other means.

While I’m sure that there may be a small few people that have never heard of this or think it’s cool, or whatever, I think it’s a waste of time. First, who the hell is gonna remember 1 week or more down the road that they even created a folder on the root of their C:\ drive called “God Mode” or whatever they chose to call it? Second, how many times can you or anyone honestly say that they’ve EVER needed to get into 99% of the areas that are listed in “God Mode”?

I can’t begin to think of how many times I’ve “Stumbled” onto an article about this same topic. It’s become extremely annoying. My opinion, to sum it all up, is that instead of calling it “God Mode” people should be calling it “I-don’t-know-how-to-do-anything-useful-on-a-computer-so-I-made-this-folder-to-make-it-at-least-appear-like-I-do Mode”.

I know few…well no one actually, who visit MSDN on a regular basis and carefully read all the articles. Let alone 99.999% of all Windows users. So, let the people believe they are “gods”. It does no harm.
