Windows 7 GodMode

This is a really useful trick.
GodMode is a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
Instruction:
Create a new folder.
Rename the folder to:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window.
Note: you can change the “GodMode” text, but the following 'period' and code number are essential.
WARNING: The trick appears to work on both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit should also work. However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder.
Enjoy
