Innovating Window Command Set for Mythic Modifications

God Mode enables you to access hundreds of Control Panel applets from a single All Tasks window. That’s a handy thing to activate in Windows 11 for accessing Control Panel settings and creating shortcuts that open them.

Many users activate God Mode by setting up desktop shortcuts that open the All Tasks window. However, you can instead add a God Mode option to the desktop’s context menu in Windows 11. Then the All Tasks window will be directly accessible on your right-click menu. This is how you can add God Mode to Windows 11’s context menu.

1. Open the Registry Editor (see how to open the Registry Editor for instructions).

2. Click in the address bar at the top of Registry Editor to delete the current key location.

3. Input this Shell key path in the address bar and hit Enter:
   Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\

4. Right-click on Shell in Registry Editor’s navigation sidebar to select New and Key.
   

5. Type God Mode in the key’s text box.

Check out the new God Mode option on your context menu for opening Task View. Right-click somewhere on the desktop background image and select Show more options. Then select God Mod to bring up the Task View window. You can open a multitude of Control Panel applets from there.

If you ever change your mind about having a God Mode context menu option, open the Shell key in Registry Editor again. Then right-click on the God Mode key you added and select delete. Click Yes to erase the God Mode key along with its command subkey.

1. Open this Right-Click Extender download page.

Now you’ll see a new God Mode option on Windows 11’s classic context menu. This option will also have an icon by it. Click on God Mode to view the list of Control Panel applets.

How to Create Control Panel Shortcuts From God Mode’s All Tasks Window

The Task View window the God Mode context menu option opens makes hundreds of Control Panel applets more accessible. You can open whatever Control Panel settings you need from that window. However, the list of applets shown in that window is quite long.

Task View makes it easy to create desktop shortcuts for opening the Control Panel applets you need to access more regularly. To do so, left-click an applet or utility in the Task View window, drag it onto the desktop, and release the mouse button. Then you can click on the desktop shortcut to open its Control Panel applet whenever needed.

Make the Most of God Mode on Windows

Adding God Mode to your desktop’s context menu will enable you to access a plethora of Control Panel applets and tools within a single window in a couple of clicks. That will save you from rummaging through the Control Panel to find certain applets and settings when needed. Plus, you can make more essential Control Panel applets even more accessible by creating shortcuts for them from the Task View window.

Many users activate God Mode by setting up desktop shortcuts that open the All Tasks window. However, you can instead add a God Mode option to the desktop’s context menu in Windows 11. Then the All Tasks window will be directly accessible on your right-click menu. This is how you can add God Mode to Windows 11’s context menu.
