CLSID Key List for Windows 7

Combine · Sep 21, 2010

Hi Brink. It's useful the list, but I couldn't undertand the Tip you refer above; I'm unable to create a shortcut with it. However, I found a way to access to the items this CLSID keys open. It's based on the popular trick of the larger control panel called "God Mode". So what I have done (it does not work with all the keys) is to create a folder in my desktop and in the name I wrote what it opens (exactly as it is on the list) followed by a dot, and then the CLSID key. This creates a folder that could be used as a shortcut, although it is not.
So I will be pleased if you can explain more detailed how to use this list to create a shortcut.

This is a great list... Thank you :thumbsup:

Hello Combine,

Sure thing. Which one did you want to create a shortcut with that you could't get to work? I'll be happy to help with it.

You're most welcome Jamie. Thank you.

For example I want to create a shortcut for "Network", so how should I do that?

Brink · Sep 22, 2010

For network, you would use either one of the locations in bold below. Notice the part in red is the CLSID number for Network. You would substitute the part in red completely if you want to do use a differen CLSID number for something else.

C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}

or

C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e,::{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}

Sory, but I followed the steps in the tutorial without the result expected. When I write C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e,::{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C} when creating a shortcut, it seems that only recognizes C:\Windows\explorer.exe, so it creates a shortcut to the explorer.

Combine,

As a test, download the Network folder shortcut in Option One of the tutorial link I posted above to see if it works for you or not. If not, then something else is wrong.

Combine · Sep 23, 2010

I downloaded the shortcut and it works.
I compared the properties of your shortcut and mine (the one which don't work) and I realised that they seem to be exactly the same. So there is something wrong in the process of creating the shortcut. This is what I write in the path: C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e,::{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}, but it does not work, instead it creates a shortcut to the explorer. A solution I found, is to copy the code on "Start in" in the explorer icon created, and then look for the rigth icon. However it is very frustating.

Brink · Sep 23, 2010

The downloaded shortcut was created the same way as in this tutorial. Only after it was created, I selected another icon for it, and changed the name instead of the default explorer name. That's all.

Combine · Sep 25, 2010

But in my case the shortcut created by mine, exactly as it's on the tutorial, leads me to the explorer. But it may be something wrong in my system, because nowadays it has a "strage performance".
Afterall, thank you for your tutorials and help.

Brink · Sep 25, 2010

Strange. As a test to see if it's just your user account or the system, create a new administrator account to see if the shortcut workd properly while logged into it.

Thanks, this will save an hour searching a CLSID!

Brink · Mar 8, 2011

You're welcome NoN. Yeah, there sure are a lot of them to go through.

wasn't there a folder you could create in the root of the system drive, rename it to (something {clsid} and it would give all control functions to you in this one folder?
I can't find it on here so am asking, please.

Brink · Jul 8, 2011

Hello John,

I think you are talking about this one.

Hi, I had an issue with the "windows cannot find ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0\::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b...\systemicons" error when I right click on the Notification Area and then click properties. As I was reading the previous posts I created another administrator account and then logged in with it. After logging back to my old account i no longer have this issue. Althought I probably fixed this, I found my backup files and restore points no longer exist. Could this all be connected?

Brink · Oct 27, 2011

Hello Kostantin, and welcome to Seven Forums.

For System icons, you could use the location below instead.

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} \SystemIcons

Hope this helps,

Hello Rusty,

I'm sorry, but it doesn't open anything for me. That GUID number is not even referenced in the Windows 7 registry.
