How to enable Windows 7 secret God mode

[Raitsa]

As nice as Windows 7 is to use let’s face it — we always want total control over the computing environment. What we really want is to have total control in an easy-to-use form that puts everything at our fingertips. Enter the super secret Windows 7 God Mode.

God Mode is a simple folder that brings all aspects of Windows 7 control in a single place. It collects all of the Control Panel functions, interface customization, accessibility options, just about every aspect of controlling Windows 7 into a single place. This even works on Vista.

God Mode is easy to set up too, just do this:

    * Create a new folder anywhere.
    * Rename the folder by pasting this name exactly as it appears (copy it first):
    * GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

That’s it, you now have a folder with the Control Panel icon (pictured above) that has all the controls in one place:

Nice! Going to have to put that in my gmail permi-draft file for remote use the next time I'm fixing up someone's computer.

DON'T DO IT WITH VISTA!!!
I just tried it, my computer went into an endless loop of stopping and restarting explorer.  I had to go into safemode and delete the folder manually to get it to stop...

Here is a link posted in the comment section about the solution to the explorer crashing . I have not tried any of this myself.
