NOTE: This option will not have the Pin to Taskbar or Pin to Start Menu options in it's Properties page since it is treated like a folder in Windows 7 instead. However, it does allow you to use in say Opject Dock without the Windows Explorer issue.
1. Right click on your desktop, then click on New and Folder.

2. Copy the name below.
Control Panel All Tasks List.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Right click on the New Folder, click on Rename, paste the name above, and press Enter.

4. You can now pin this folder to Start Menu (Windows 7 only), pin this folder to taskbar, or move it to where you like for easy use.
That's it,
