Name won't show on GodMode folder on Windows 10

Question

After creating the GodMode folder, the folder has no visible name, even though what I entered before the dot was GodMode.

What I named the folder was GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

Is there a way to get a display name to show up for this special folder in Windows 10?

Just did the steps from this earlier link, but Windows refuses to give it a display name. I can however safely rename the folder without breaking the godmode. — LPChip, May 1 '18 at 13:41
It does if you create a folder, put a desktop.ini in it with the right content and use attrib to set the right permissions to the folder and file. — LPChip, May 1 '18 at 13:44
Post an answer with the desktop.ini content. Nothing in the link you commented has anything about changing the folder name using the ini file. — mbomb007, May 1 '18 at 13:52

It appears this is a bug/feature, and its currently not possible to give that folder a name.

Yeah, I can't get a single setting of desktop.ini to work on it, either. Maybe there's something in the registry that needs to be changed? – mbomb007 May 1 '18 at 14:13
you need to attrib desktop.ini +s +h and the folder +s before it will work. – LPChip May 1 '18 at 14:23
I did. It doesn't change anything. I couldn't change the tooltip, and I couldn't change the icon. I also found that it's impossible to edit the registry values for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} – mbomb007 May 1 '18 at 14:24

A workaround would be is to create a shortcut in desktop with value

explorer shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

and name it whatever you like! :)
