Windows 7 is great, but if you’re a control freak like me, you want to be able to change all your settings easily, and preferably, all in one place. Well, the developers at Microsoft heard your cries of woe, and have enabled a super folder.
Create a new folder (can be located anywhere, like on the Desktop), with the following name: SuperFolder.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Once you hit enter, it will look like this:
Opening this folder, you will see all the Admin goodness – 277 administrative tasks, all in one place!
This has been a much needed feature for Windows. My only wish is that it was easier to create the super folder – for instance if I were to work on someone else’s machine, I’m not going to remember what that long string of numbers and letters are – would be nice to remember a word, or sentence to call the folder… oh well, at least we got it!
One more tip, I added this SuperFolder to my Favorites, so it’s accessible from any open explorer window! (Just drag the folder onto the Favorites star, and it will add it to the favorite list!)
