I didn’t discover this trick, but that never stopped me from sharing.  Originally based off the Master Control Panel for Vista.

Want a good way to access ALL the control panel options in Windows 7 in one easy location?  Simply make a folder on your desktop and rename it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and you are all set.
