BTW:
Any folder name can be substituted for the godmode part.

Subject: Neat way to make Windows 7 more accessible
Hello listers,
One complaint I have with Windows 7, is that it is more of a hassle
to find and access all the various controls for configuring your
computer system. XP had nearly everything located in the control
panel, but in Windows 7 (and Vista) a lot of controls can not be
easily located. Creating a "GodMode" folder puts all those hidden
controls in an easily accessible folder.
GodMode gives the user access to all control panels in a single
folder. Windows settings are easily changed. And obscure options are
made available. At
the very least, it makes system changes quicker.
GodMode works in Windows 7 and Vista. However, some users with
64-bit Vista have reported crashes. It does not work in Windows XP.
Creating your GodMode folder is a snap. Right-click on your desktop
or in a Windows Explorer window. Select New>>Folder. Name it.
When your new folder appears, the name is highlighted. Replace the
name with the following:
"GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" (minus quotes).
Press Enter. The folder is given a special icon. When you
double-click it, you'll see all the control panel options.
The GodMode folder displays all the controls and options in a
multiple column layout, so you'll need to use the left and right
arrow keys to move focus to the other columns. When you find
something you want to work on, just hit enter, and you'll be taken
to that screen.
Alan
