Okay, I was browsing around looking for the control panel applet names in Windows Server 2008 (or Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008R2, for that matter) to include in a new policy. Not that you ned to know what I was doing, but just throwing it out there.

Anyway, over on petri.co.il I came across a cool thing: GOD MODE.

 

Sounds exciting. Actually, it's just a little pretty undocumented feature (Well, okay, it's partially mentioned on MSDN) - but I hadn't come across it earlier. IT pretty much summarizes all the settings you'd otherwise spend hours hunting through in different control panel applets.

What you do is:

  1. Create a new folder somewhere (e.g. your desktop will do fine)
  2. Name it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Voila - that's it. Open it up and see all the settings you'd otherwise spend hours hunting through in different control panel applets.
