Love Maximum PC. Been reading it for years. In the June 2020 issue "Breaking Back into Control Panel" I had forgotten about “GodMode.” Well, I’m 75+, but it would have been handy last week. Thanks for your fine article.

Just a heads up—you forgot a hyphen in the folder name: “God Mode. {ED7BA470-8E54465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

RESPONDS: I’ll apologize in advance to you both Robert and Steve, I know we’ve bundled two of your letters together here, but we’re just trying to save a bit of space. Thanks for pointing this out, sometimes these things do slip past us during the design and proofreading stage of issue development. I did check these links worked prior to sending it off to our art division, but clearly should’ve checked again once it was laid out on the page. Sorry about that! All on me for sure, but I’m glad to hear at the very least the article has helped a few folk out.

The Control Panel is still a huge bugbear for me at the moment. I’ve actually had to reinstall Windows 10 twice on my home workstation PC this past month, and navigating around and setting up my sound options for various devices has been a constant point of frustration, as Windows Search continually pushes me to that gratuitous, unhelpful “modern” Settings menu. Eugh.

Anyway, thanks for writing in, and I genuinely appreciate it when folk point out mistakes like this, as it means we can address any issues here.
