Default Windows 7 and Vista Super control pannel

Nothing you cant fine else where and you can name it what you like but


1. Create a new folder anywhere on your computer
2. Rename this folder to "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" (No quote marks"

The folder will change to resemble a Control Panel Folder, but there will be loads and loads of options in there.

A quick note. It will cause Windows Explorer to crash if you use that command on Vista 64-bit.

The solution for Vista 64-bit is as follows:

Create a new shortcut with following path:

Code:
explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Missed the lower code line for Vista 64, put the God Mode code in and cannot get computer to bring up desktop to allow removal of 'control panel' from God Mode. How can I get back? Computer unfortunately does not have a restore point as only put Vista on recently with all my other programs so don't really want to do a full re-install. Safe Mode does not open just black screen, put the Vista 64 code in Safe Mode Command Prompt and can see the options that are brought up and they look good but cannot get windows explorer to run.
Thanks Steve

Boot into safe mode probably the one with command prompt, then locate where you put the GodFolder thing, then type rmdir <name of god folder> and press return, it should then delete the folder, at which point explorer should not crash, but you'll want to reboot to make sure.
