This thing works fine on 7 but is destroying Vista for some strange reason, so don't install it on Vista
if you have it as a second OS.

You forgot to include the CLSID in your prayer.

Does it annoy anyone else that a shortcut to control panel items is termed as a "God Mode"? Last I checked, playing ORPG's and entering into God Mode didn't take me to the mouse settings.

It seems like every tech related email I've received in the last week has had something to say about this too.

Windows 7 GodMode
Recently a journalist used the controversial term "GodMode" about this feature and made the incorrect claim that these shortcuts are undocumented. See also Specifying a Namespace Extension's Location To use these features, use the GUID and name the folder as you like, you do not have to use the term the article author used.
