Hi Guys,

Came across something interesting last night for Windows 7 machines.

If you create a folder on your desktop, and then rename the folder to:

"Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"

....and then open up the folder you have access to what appears to be
most of the Windows 7 configuration options all in the one window.

Have fun...

Adam.

It's actually quite useful for bringing the control panel options onto a
single page (flattened control panel).

See at end of this article for even more magic folder GUIDs:

The Godmode works on Vista also - as do at least some others from that list.

NB! folder name can be anything :
"hello.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" works as well (the GUID part
is the magic one).
