How to create a Master Control Panel for Windows Vista and explore the all tasks

October 21st, 2008

After doing lots of R & D on Windows Vista, I have found a registry hack that enables all tasks control panel and system settings at one place…! (Works with Windows Vista 32bit editions only)

It’s much similar to Windows 7’s (M1 Build 6519) Control Panel (Classic View) or you can say, it’ll explorer more controls and tasks than Windows 7 Control Panel.

Method 1:

1) Create a new folder and name it Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

2) The icon will be changed automatically to Control Panel’s icon. Now open the folder and see the magic of Windows Registry!

Method 2: (Thanks to my friend Marc F.)

Create a shortcut and type explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} in the location n finish the icon create wizard with appropriate icon and name.

Note: Sometimes…it kills explorer.exe
To get rid of this issue run cmd and copy paste this command and hit enter:

rd “Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

    Just wished to mention, that this tweak appears to be incompatible with 64bit version of Windows Vista. But yes, its an awesome original tip !
