"God Mode" in Win7? (All Tasks)

[zridling]

Saw this AppScout post on all tasks in Win7 and surprised it's not touted as a expert feature. Seems like a brilliant time saver.

It should be 'Anything.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}' (without the space) I think. Thanks Zaine

Thanks Ehtyar. Found another story on it just posted on OSNews:

1) Create a new folder.
2) Name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3) That's it.

Didn't work if I did it on the Desktop but did if I created it in C:\.

EDIT: It does work on Desktop.

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

Worked fine on the Desktop for me (Win7 x64)

Oopss!, I think I just cut'n'paste from zaines original post that had the extra space, I then did it into C:\ but used the text from the website.

My bad.

Yeah, nothing god-mode about it - as I posted in a comment on OSNews:

it's just a special Virtual Shell Folder... read up on the windows shell namespace

. You could call it OMFGSENSATIONALISM!.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} for all Windows cares

Works in all versions of Vista too, but rumour has it that it can upset 64 bit versions.  I have it sat on the desktop of all my machines.
