The ultimate 'God Mode' list: 39 secret Windows 7 shortcuts
warning: some people who did this ran into grief doing this. Mostly, I suspect, people running Vista. I'm leaving this post up because it contains remedies for people who were damaged by doing this "trick".
For some reason that only the gods of the blogosphere can explain, an old Windows trick took on new life this week.

As I explained last weekend, there’s nothing new or hidden in this list, but calling it “God mode” seems to have given this tip wings. Even Steven Sinofsky got into the act, sending a list of 15 additional GUID-based shortcuts to my colleague Ina Fried at CNET.
