This is a really cool hack.
It seems to work in all versions of Windows 7.
"GodMode" feature lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.
By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.
To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder (anywhere, but desktop makes most sense) and then rename the folder to the following [for assured results copy this - from the 'G' to the last'}' ]:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Once that is done, the folder's icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options. It is a handy way to get to all kinds of controls.
This also works in Windows Vista 32bit too but not Vista 64bit.

This worked for me in Vista 32-bit. This will be really convenient. Without this, you have to go through lots of individual control panel apps. It even automatically uses a cool folder icon that I hadn't seen before. Thanks for the tip!
