You might have heard of the Windows 7 GodMode – which is simply a link that allows you to view all of the Control Panel icons in one shot. To get this to work, you’ll want to create a folder in any directory on your system and give the shortcut this name:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

There are more things you can do! I have spend a little time looking over the registry and found these other direct link GodMode-ish shortcuts.

1 – Desktop Themes – this will link you directly to the Visual Personalization page from Control Panel. Here you can change themes, and theme settings among other things.

DesktopThemes.{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921}

2 – Network Map – This link takes you to the Windows 7 Network Map utility.

NetworkMap.{E7DE9B1A-7533-4556-9484-B26FB486475E}

3 – Online Games – Use this link to take you directly to the Online Games Explorer section of Windows 7.

OnlineGames.{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}

4 – Sensors – The Control Panel applet for the various sensors on your computer can be linked to directly using this shortcut.

Sensors.{E9950154-C418-419e-A90A-20C5287AE24B}

5 – SlideShow – Use this link to get you directly into the Control Panel’s Slideshow Settings.

Slideshow.{E95A4861-D57A-4be1-AD0F-35267E261739}

6 – And last, a rather unknown link, you click on it and links to nothing. I found the choice of icon interesting, to say the least.

Unknown.{F1390A9A-A3F4-4E5D-9C5F-98F3BD8D935C}

There even still more links here and in the registry – these are what I’ve come across so far. Have you found any?
