Notes when activating GodMode on Windows

• Windows XP does not support GodMode.
• You need to create a new folder, do not use an existing folder (containing other files and subfolders). Because after turning it into a GodMode folder, all files and folders in it will be hidden and during the GodMode process, you cannot access those files and subfolders.
• You cannot use Windows Explorer to rename the GodMode folder back to its original folder, but must use Command Prompt at the location where the GodMode folder was created and use the following command to rename it to the folder name you want, for exampleWebTech360:

lace "God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"WebTech360

• The "GodMode" in the folder name can be changed to whatever you want, it's just there to help you identify what the folder is, as long as the part after "GodMode" is exactly as you see above.
• The folder icon will change to the Control Panel icon and the characters after "GodMode" in the name will disappear.
