CNet has posted a followup article on the “GodMode” in Windows 7. In addition to the original GodMode ( {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} ), they provided 16 others:

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.
Well, it’s hardly “God Mode”, but it is an easy way to access Windows 7’s entire set of control panel settings from a single window. And it reportedly works on Vista as well, although some people claim problems on the 64-bit version of Vista.
Simply create a new folder and rename it to whatever you like, adding the extension “.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”. For example, name your folder, “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” and you will see the icon change to a Control Panel icon and when you double click on “God Mode” the icon it will open a long list of settings. Neato.
