Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "GodMode" feature that 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. The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash. To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following: 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. I'm not sure it's my idea of playing God, but it is a handy way to get to all kinds of controls.

That's the "All Tasks" page. It is located here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Other than renaming a folder as lol.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, you can invoke it from the command prompt like this: shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Or you can create a shortcut for it like this: explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Whenever you search for something in Control Panel, "All Tasks" is searched.
