 God Mode in Windows gives you the option to Configure all settings of the windows-related options under one single folder. However, Microsoft has strived their best to develop User-friendly System making it fast and simple. Windows 7 and Windows 8 has made it simpler by providing Start Menu Search option, which enables you to search any settings and tools easily without wasting time.

What is God Mode?

God Mode is a hidden shortcut, which provide access to all Windows Settings under one single place. God Mode was actually designed for Microsoft’s developer to test various aspects of windows from a single location. In reality, Microsoft never really named this shortcut as God Mode, but named as Windows Master Control Panel shortcut. God Mode is a name which came out from bloggers on the web and gained popularity by the name God Mode.
In Windows Vista or Windows 7 shortcuts then there's also the 'Godmode' folders.

   rmdir /S /Q Temp

rmdir /s /q "%Temp%"

Copy paste or write this code exactly as it is

 Large number of left over items in these temporary folders has an impact on the speed of  FileMaker Pro launching. For some reason FileMaker Pro has to look at every one of them as it launches. As the numbers of .tmp files build, so does the launch time. In some cases, it may take minutes to open.

Set your System to Display Hidden Files and Folders

Only delete .tmp files after a restart. Windows creates .tmp files to perform some task when you reboot.
