Using Windows 7 yet? If so, you should enable the hidden GodMode feature! It’s actually pretty cool. It lets you access all of the control panels for the entire operating system in one folder. You have to do a bit of trickery, which is explained well at CNET. It’s pretty handy, especially for people who like to change a lot of settings.
