Remember the first time you heard about “up, down, up, down, A, B, A, B, Select, Start”?  GodMode, genius!  Well, this trick might not be quite as cool, but for us sysadmin a shortcut to full control is always welcome.  Try this one out…

• Create a folder somewhere on your hard drive (example c:\temp)
• Name the folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
• Create a shortcut and name it GodMode
• Copy the shortcut to your c:\windows folder
• Go to Start > Run and enter GodMode

Viola!  An uber-powerful Control Panel.  Enjoy!
