GodMode in 7

slowfoxOne of the mild irritants of Windows 7 is that the Control Panel is kinda fragmented with multiple folders and stuff, but no readily apparent means of seeing everything in one go...
Well, news is out on the Interwebs of Windows 7 GodMode, which gives you a single folder view of the various Control Panel options.
To do this, all you need to do is create a Folder, anywhere you please, and give it this exact name (copy and paste):
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The folder itself is displayed simply as GodMode (I'd have been unimpressed if it had displayed the rather impenetrable extension), and at least Works For Me™.

I can almost get there with 7, but I'm still left with the nasty, two column start button menu.
