We haven’t told anybody before, but Windows has a hidden “How-To Geek Mode” that you can enable which gives you access to every Control Panel tool on a single page—and we’ve documented the secret method for you here.

我们以前没有告诉过任何人，但是Windows具有隐藏的“操作方法”，您可以启用它，使您可以在单个页面上访问每个控制面板工具-并且我们在此为您介绍了秘密方法。

Update: Do not use this on Vista. If you did, you can use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to start task manager, File \ Run and open a command prompt with cmd.exe, and then use the rmdir command to get rid of the folder.

更新：不要在Vista上使用它。 如果这样做，则可以使用Ctrl + Shift + Esc启动任务管理器，依次执行File \ Run和cmd.exe，然后使用rmdir命令删除该文件夹。

To activate the secret How-To Geek mode, right-click on the desktop, choose New –> Folder, and then give it this name:

要激活秘密的How-To Geek模式，请在桌面上单击鼠标右键，选择“新建”->“文件夹”，然后为其指定名称：

How-To Geek.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

入门指南。{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Once you’ve done so, you’ll have activated the secret mode, and the icon will change…

完成此操作后，您将激活秘密模式，并且图标将更改……

Double-click on the icon, and now you can use the How-To Geek mode, which lists out every single Control Panel tool on a single page.

双击该图标，现在可以使用How-To Geek模式，该模式在单个页面上列出了每个“控制面板”工具。

At this point you might notice why this is a stupid geek trick—it’s much easier to use the default Control Panel than navigating through a massive list, and anybody that really calls themselves a geek will be using the Start Menu or Control Panel search box anyway.

在这一点上，您可能会注意到为什么这是一个愚蠢的怪胎技巧-使用默认控制面板比浏览大量列表要容易得多，任何真正自称为怪胎的人都将使用“开始菜单”或“控制面板”搜索框。

In case you were wondering, this is the same as that silly “God Mode” trick that everybody else is writing about. For more on why it’s pointless, see Ed Bott’s post on the subject.

如果您想知道，这与其他人正在写的那个愚蠢的“上帝模式”技巧相同。 有关为什么它毫无意义的更多信息，请参阅Ed Bott在该主题上的文章。

Alright, So It’s Not Really a Secret How-To Geek Mode

好了，所以这并不是真正的秘密“极客模式”

Sadly, this is nothing more than a stupid geek trick using a technique that isn’t widely known—Windows uses GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) behind the scenes for every single object, component, etc. And when you create a new folder with an extension that is a GUID recognized by Windows, it’s going to launch whatever is listed in the registry for that GUID.

令人遗憾的是，这仅是使用一种尚不为人所知的愚蠢技巧，Windows会在幕后为每个对象，组件等使用GUID(全局唯一标识符)。当您使用Windows可以识别的GUID扩展名，它将启动该GUID注册表中列出的所有内容。

You can see for yourself by heading into regedit.exe and searching for {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} under the HKCR \ CLSID section. You’ll see on the right-hand pane that it’s the “All Tasks” view of the Control Panel, which you can’t normally see from the UI.

您可以通过进入regedit.exe并在HKCR \ CLSID部分下搜索{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}来自己查看。 您会在右侧窗格中看到“控制面板”的“所有任务”视图，通常您无法从用户界面中看到该视图。

You can use this same technique for other Windows objects by doing some digging around in the registry… for instance, if you were to search under HKCR \ CLSID for “Recycle Bin”, you’d eventually come across the right key—the one on the left-hand side here:

您可以通过在注册表中进行一些挖掘来对其他Windows对象使用相同的技术…例如，如果您要在HKCR \ CLSID下搜索“回收站”，您最终会遇到正确的键-一个这里的左侧：

So if you created a folder with the name “The Geek Knows Deleted Files.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”, you’d end up with this icon, clearly from the Recycle Bin.

因此，如果您创建了一个名为“ The Geek Knows Deleted Files。{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”的文件夹，则最终将得到该图标，显然来自回收站。

And it’s even a fully functional Recycle Bin… just right-click and you’ll see the menu:

而且它甚至是功能齐全的回收站……只需右键单击，您将看到菜单：

So here’s the quick list of the ones I felt like digging up, but I’m sure there’s more things you can launch if you really felt like it.

因此，这是我想要挖掘的内容的快速列表，但是我敢肯定，如果您真的喜欢的话，可以启动更多的功能。

Recycle Bin: {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

回收站： {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

My Computer: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

我的电脑： {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Network Connections: {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}

网络连接： {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}

User Accounts: {60632754-c523-4b62-b45c-4172da012619}

用户帐户： {60632754-c523-4b62-b45c-4172da012619}

Libraries:  {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}

库： {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}

To use any of them, simply create a new folder with the syntax AnyTextHere.{GUID}

要使用其中任何一个，只需使用语法AnyTextHere创建一个新文件夹。{GUID}

Create Shortcuts to GUIDs

创建GUID的快捷方式

Since the GUID points to a Windows object launched by Windows Explorer, you can also create shortcuts and launch them directly from explorer.exe instead of creating the folder. For instance, if you wanted to create a shortcut to My Computer, you could paste in the following as the location for a new shortcut:

由于GUID指向Windows资源管理器启动的Windows对象，因此您也可以创建快捷方式并直接从explorer.exe启动它们，而不用创建文件夹。 例如，如果要创建“我的电脑”的快捷方式，则可以将以下内容粘贴为新快捷方式的位置：

explorer ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

资源管理器:: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

And just like that, you’d have a shortcut to My Computer, which you can customize with a different icon, and a shortcut key if you so choose.

就像那样，您将拥有“我的电脑”的快捷方式，可以使用其他图标来自定义该快捷方式，如果愿意，还可以使用快捷键。

Yeah, it’s a stupid geek trick, but it’s always fun to learn new things.

是的，这是一个愚蠢的怪胎技巧，但是学习新事物总是很有趣。

Note: The Control Panel’s All Items hack and the Libraries hack will probably only work in Windows 7. The others should work in any version of Windows.

注意：“控制面板”的“所有项目”黑客和“库”黑客可能仅在Windows 7中有效。其他应在任何版本的Windows中有效。
