Enable Master Controle Panel in Windows 7

Here is a simple hack that can enable you to place all the Tasks Control Panel and System Settings in one overview.

Just create a new folder on your Windows desktop and name the folder as:

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

As you will see, the icon will change.
Now open the folder and see the magic of Windows Registry!

You will see that the folder contains all the shortcuts to the Tasks Control Panel and System Settings.

Move the folder to the C drive, and create its shortcut there.
Cut paste this shortcut in folder C:\Users\Owner\Start Menu\Programs.

This works quite well on my 32bit Vista Ultimate. But if you find that this hack makes your explorer.exe unstable or makes it crash, I suggest you use the cmd to delete this folder, as follows:

Run cmd and copy paste this command and hit enter :
rd “Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

or alternatively, if it doesnt help

rd “c:\users\%username%\desktop\Master Control.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”

PS : This tweak is incompatible with 64bit version of Windows Vista.
