10 Tips For Working In And Around Windows 7

To get access to all available system settings, you start by creating a new folder. It can be named anything, as long as it has the following string added to the end of its name: .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. For exampleGodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

This trick, known as Windows GodMode, has been making its rounds on the Internet for some time now. Less known, however, is the possibility of using the above method to directly access some elements from the Control Panel. For example, to create direct access to the ‘Backup and Restore Center,' you create a folder with any name and add this string to the end: .{B98A2BEA-7D42-4558-8BD1-832F41BAC6FD}. A complete list of GUIDs corresponding to the items in the Control Panel can be found on Microsoft's site here.
