New or notably improved Windows apps
DISMTools offers a graphical user interface for the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool of the Windows operating system.
DISM allows administrators to prepare, modify, and repair system images. DISMTools moves the tool from the command line to a graphical user interface.
You may have heard about God Mode, the hidden Windows feature that creates a folder with 200 deep links to admin tools and settings. Super God Mode expands on that and creates even more links.
