Windows 7 secret folder

Here is a very interesting trick with Windows 7 that I found and wanted to pass it along.  This worked for me without issue on Windows 7 64-bit and It should work on Windows 7 32-bit aswell, but I cannot guarantee it will work for you.  Use this at your own discretion.

This little trick will allow you to create a folder on your computer that includes shortcuts to just about every windows setting you would have an interest in tweaking/changing.

Here’s what you need to do to get this special folder.  It will take a very short time to complete and most settings will be easily available to you!

Step 1: Go to the location you would like the folder to appear and create a new folder.
Step 1: Now, simply change the folder name to whatever you want (CHANGE FOLDERNAME) and put the following after the name you choose.

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

As an example if you wanted the folder to be called “Everything” you would change the folder name to “Everything.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” (without the quotations).

The folder will now change and when you go inside it you will see a whopping amount of settings and options. 

It shows me numerous options in each of the following areas:

- Action Center
- Administrative Tools
- AutoPlay
- Backup and Restore
- Color Management
- Credential Manager
- Date and Time
- Default Programs
- Desktop Gadgets
- Device Manager
- Devices and Printers
