Windows 7 Special Admin Folders

Did you known that Windows 7 supports a set of special folders that provide quick access to nearly all administrative tasks in your computer?

I didn't :)

Run the following batch commands to create the folders. The secret is in the extension (typed after the dot) and not in the folder name.

mkdir "Special Folders"
cd ".\Special Folders"
mkdir "God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"
mkdir "Location Settings.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}"
mkdir "Biometric Settings.{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}"
mkdir "Power Settings.{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}"
mkdir "Icons And Notifications.{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}"
mkdir "Credentials and Logins.{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}"
mkdir "Programs and Features.{15eae92e-f17a-4431-9f28-805e482dafd4}"
mkdir "Default Programs.{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966}"
mkdir "All NET Frameworks and COM Libraries.{1D2680C9-0E2A-469d-B787-065558BC7D43}"
mkdir "All Networks For Current Connection.{1FA9085F-25A2-489B-85D4-86326EEDCD87}"
mkdir "Network.{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}"
mkdir "My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"
mkdir "Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}"
mkdir "Application Connections.{241D7C96-F8BF-4F85-B01F-E2B043341A4B}"
mkdir "Firewall and Security.{4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}"
mkdir "Performance.{78F3955E-3B90-4184-BD14-5397C15F1EFC}"

Enjoy!
