[I am not a Windows expert and this is all probably totally obvious.]
There has been some buzz about "God mode" in Windows 7. What am I talking about? It's an undocumented way to create a special folder that has a bunch of commonly used control panel settings. A recent article by Ina Fried provides more details, including a list of more undocumented settings folders (via Steven Sinofsky). Here are the folders given in the article (thanks to a hilariously-named commenter in the Ina Fried article):

To try it out, create a folder (anywhere) whose name has the following pattern: <name>.<ID>, where <ID> is one of the strings in the second column of the table above. Once you create the folder, Windows will magically change the icon and remove the ID. Example: on my laptop I like to change power options - when I am doing dev stuff like compiling code or running tests I want high performance, otherwise I want to preserve battery life. So I created the "power options" folder and stuck it on my desktop (and also stuck it on the taskbar in the third slot, so that Windows Key + 3 will pop it up). Nice!
