The ultimate God Mode list: 39 secret Windows 7 shortcuts

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

For some reason that only the gods of the blogosphere can explain, an old Windows trick took on new life this week. If you create a new folder using an arbitrary name, followed by a period and the GUID {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, you end up with a categorized list of Control Panel tasks.

As I explained last weekend, there’s nothing new or hidden in this list, but calling it “God mode” seems to have given this tip wings. Even Steven Sinofsky got into the act, sending a list of 15 additional GUID-based shortcuts to my colleague Ina Fried at CNET. So, that must be it, right? If Sinofsky has spoken then surely there can’t be any more. The ultimate ‘God Mode’ list: 39 secret Windows 7 shortcuts | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com
