[Windows 7] Secret Features!

[Xel]

NOTE: This only works in windows 7.

These are basically undocumented developer features included in Windows.

TRYING THIS WITH WRONG OS MAY RESULT A COMPUTER CRASH

Step 1: Create a folder.
Step 2: Rename it like this (without quotes):
"anything.code"

Replace anything with anything you come up with
Ex. Xel, 1337, lol

Then you should replace Code with some of these:
{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} - The original "Godmode"
(extended control panel which I found REALLY helpful!)

Some other codes
EDIT: Most of them appear to be almost normal shortcuts (my computer etc.)
{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}
{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}
{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}
{15eae92e-f17a-4431-9f28-805e482dafd4}
{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966}
{1D2680C9-0E2A-469d-B787-065558BC7D43}
{1FA9085F-25A2-489B-85D4-86326EEDCD87}
{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
{241D7C96-F8BF-4F85-B01F-E2B043341A4B}
{4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}
{62D8ED13-C9D0-4CE8-A914-47DD628FB1B0}
{78F3955E-3B90-4184-BD14-5397C15F1EFC}

Step 3:
So after renaming you should have a folder like this
Xel.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01}
Now just click somewhere and see how the folder's icon changes
then open it!

Nice : o

Sigh... it's not 'god mode' it's called the All Tasks Control Panel

Replace GodMode with some other string, it'll still work.

Just something they left in from the W7 beta.

Well this thread made me interested, then uninterested quite fast due to this post by apoc :P

[r3deemer]

Its basically just an all in one control panel...

System.AppUserModel.ID - Microsoft.Windows.ControlPanel

You can do this with mydocs / computer etc aswell, just need the correct info

I do like this tho

[Innit]

Anything like this for XP? It'd be really useful have such an easy layout!

why do ppl tag their own threads as [Legendary] ?

[Glynbeard]

The second thing you’ve discovered is the “All Tasks” folder. This is a special shell folder which is used as the source of the “Control Panel” search results seen in the Start menu. This folder was not designed to be browsed to directly, as the normal Control Panel folder (accessible via Start -> Control Panel) contains all the same items but with a custom view designed to be easier to navigate. The “All Tasks” folder has no custom view, so you just see the standard Explorer list view and little else.
The existence of this folder and its CLSID are implementation details and should not be relied upon by anybody for any purpose.
God Mode? Hardly.

cheap way to draw attention...just like ur goddamn avatar

[Xel]

Good points KuRIoS and Apoc, this was not as cool as I thought.
I still think it's cool tho.

[Roskk]

I got windows 7 and believe me there's nothing special in here.

Because you (or Kett or whoever) allows people to tag threads?
