Today I revisited Smashing Magazine’s article, “Table Layouts vs. Div Layouts: From Hell to… Hell?“, and was reminded how insightful it is. For anyone in web developement it’s a good read on how and when to use div or table tags and how to use them properly with CSS for both content and presentation.

Just create a folder and append a period (.) followed one of the ugly GUIDs above.
I have attached a Create Windows 7 GodModes Batch file that will create these for you. Remember, these are for Windows 7 and may not work or may even crash other versions of Windows.
For anyone that wants to go nuts, you can check out the Canonical Names of Control Panel Items for even more.
