I saw this: God Mode for Windows 7 and tried if this works on Windows Vista too. I created an Folder on my Desktop and named it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. After this, I not even opened it, my Windows Explorer crashed and showed this dialog: Windows Explorer Error
I tried to restart(Programm neu starten) Windows Explorer and when it restarted it shows the same dialog again.

So I can't delete the folder because Windows Explorer isn't working and to get it fixed I need to delete the file.

When I try to start other processes via taskmanager, it simply does not work.

When I start in save mode the Windows Explorer appears and starts to flicker, so I'm unable to do anything.

Can anyone help me?

  • Don't put it on your desktop, make it on the C drive and drag a shortcut to it onto your desktop

You want to find a way to delete that folder. Here are some methods.

Find a Command Prompt

From Safe Mode

  1. Boot into Safe mode with Command Prompt and enter the following commands.
  2. cd C:\Users\[your user name]\Desktop
  3. rmdir GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

From the System Recovery Options Menu

  1. Press F8 before the Windows logo appears
  2. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, select Repair your computer
  3. Once you get to the System Recovery Options menu select Command Prompt and enter the following commands.
  4. cd C:\Users\[your user name]\Desktop
  5. rmdir GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Find a Way to Edit Your File System

Live CD

Find a Live CD and use it to access your file system. Once you're able to do that, delete the God Mode directory.

  • @Paedow If you can get to the System Recovery Options menu you can use the Command Prompt there. Oct 30, 2012 at 11:30

I reconstructed your error and tried to fix it. Here is the solution:

Start Safe mode without drivers and wait until your explorer.exe is coming up. Start the taskmanager and stop explorer.exe. Start explorer.exe in taskmanager and wait about a minute. the windows explorer will stop flickering and you are able to work.
Attention:
As you click or rightclick on the Godmode folder your explorer will start again flickering.
Now you can start up cmd and execute the commands cd C:\Users\Paedow\Desktop and rd GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.
Then restart your computer and hope that it worked.
