There's a great easter egg hidden in Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Vista (32-bit):
Make a new folder, then rename it to:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The icon of the folder will change to a Control Panel Icon, and you’ll get a stunning list of all available system settings and control panel applets.
Now you are in charge!
