I have a friend in IT support. I suggested to him to run the script and when in need, send customers a shortcut instead of instructing them to go to deep menus.
Using a script to provide shortcuts to customers can be really helpful in saving time but it does mean they won't learn where to find these settings on their own, so they may still need support for the same issue in the future. It's a trade-off between quick fixes and empowering customers with knowledge.
@@Chilledoutredhead That's not exactly fair, in my experience anyway. Oh, there are those, but a lot of customers are just focused on *following* the instructions in order to get the problem fixed. If some of it finds its way to _long-term_ in the process, great... but it's not the primary mission, especially if productivity is on the line.
This is a beautiful piece of art! I don't have enough fingers to count the times I had to google for an abnormal shortcut for a system menu/panel/thingy, and now they're all (and more!) in one single place! THANK YOU very much!
Wow, you rock, man! ❤🎉🎉 I think it is milestone in the history of windows tinkering. It will hugely hugely help tinkerers like me who are not satisfied with what the microsoft offers for users in windows GUI. Thanks a ton ❤❤❤❤

3:14 shell:AppData looks to be the same as going to %appdata% 5:14 CLSID = Class Id (just without any vowels because programmers hate vowels. Source: I am one. A programmer, not a vowel)
Fact: there's a "delegate folder that appears in Computer" folder, which i got using your previous script for shell and CLSID links (It's explorer shell:::{b155bdf8-02f0-451e-9a26-ae317cfd7779}) There's also a "This Device" folder (explorer shell:::{f8278c54-a712-415b-b593-b77a2be0dda9}), which is just a current user folder, The "Portable Devices" folder (explorer shell:::{35786D3C-B075-49b9-88DD-029876E11C01}) no idea what it's for, maybe connected phones?, and the "printhood delegate folder" (explorer shell:::{ed50fc29-b964-48a9-afb3-15ebb9b97f36}). To sum up: i have no comments i gotta go confront the windows CEO...
For me, the "Portable Devices" folder shows my secondary hard drive which I use for mass storage, and allows me to access it in the same mode with which you access MTP devices (meaning I can't open command prompt in there, and copying out a file does not give me the option to see how fast I'm copying it). I think it would also be good to mention that I have SATA hotplug enabled on all SATA ports. My primary C drive is also hooked up to a SATA port, but it does not show up in that folder, probably because it has my C partition on it.
IIRC "Portable Devices" is just holdover terminology from early XP when people were still using PDAs, in almost every other instance this has been re-labeled "Removable Devices" instead.
@ThioJoe, In my online eyeballs and through my muscle memory digits (fingers), and more importantly, my rebooted cerebro, YOU ARE DEFINITELY A VALUED CONTENT WIZARD! 👍👍👍👍
4:17 this applications folder will be great to combine with revo uninstaller to clean out old leftover files from deleted programs. Just go into Hunter mode and snipe away.
This is very great. on my future installations, right after a debloat i'll run your script. Fun fuct: at work some years ago i made a little always on top program to open the "switch window" thing, but not knowing the command, i simply simulated WIN+TAB keypress
You are a hero! I would love to find the hide n seek for finding everything hiding, encrypted and dynamically created within the registry, and certainly the ones which hide dynamically.
Just smashed your thumbs up button and am looking forward to playing with your new script; it may be helpful to suggest a basic GETTING STARTED set of options to choose for new users.
The startup folder use to be a very common function on older windows. It was the straight forward way to automatically start up applications. But these days Windows purposefully hides it
Side Note: For MS "GodMode" the Name can be change. It's the "number" that sets the folder as "GodMode." Example: DogMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} will be the same.
Any of those "Shell:" folder locations can be run by prepending and appending "%", so for example: %AppData%. That way, it's easier to use it in a CMD prompt for example, but it works in any address bar too.
Hi Theo! This is super, can't wait to give it a bash first thing tomorrow morning at work! I'm hoping I could create a simple .bat file script I can pin to the tadkbar that could restart a specific service that freezes up from time to time. Cheers!
4:11 App Folder is kinda OP, almost like app Drawer in Android; well technically app drawer from Start menu but in the form of folder. which is awesome
We need a techinial explanation about why these folders and shortcuts act specially and not like normal folders and shortcuts. Basically an explanation of how your script works behind the scene.

you are amazing! How long did it take you to work on it? While you have to record clips for TH-cam it's really impressive! Thank you for all the trouble! I'm sure it will help me and a lot of people!

I really wanted to work with this but I had followed your instructions a while ago to prevent powerscript hijacking so the .bat does not run. I will try to locate and undo those earlier settings. Perhaps I did something wrong. The line in the .bat file does not work when pasted into powerscript. If this is not just my issue, perhaps you could address a fix or post a link to your earlier video on the powerscript hack prevention. Other than this issue, I value your work enormously and am grateful for your contribution to keeping my systems running optimally.

I think you mean deprecate, not depreciate? Deprecation is the discouragement of use of something human-made, such as a term, feature, design, or practice. Typically something is deprecated because it is claimed to be inferior compared to other options available. Something may be deprecated when it cannot be controlled, such as a term.

Hi Theo, My Windows 10 did not let me download it, I ignored Windows and security and downloaded both files. One a data file I think, and the script to run. CMD opened up and it was running, As I was creating a short cut to the Super Windows Mode, it went to my OneDrive and without any preview said download, again Windows said this could seriously damage your machine, at that point I stopped. I thought it would be fun to look at, but it was red flagged so many times as dangerous, I deleted everything. I still have the old one on my desktop, no warnings for that from Windows. Why did my windows 10 red flag is dangerous? Is it as dangerous as windows claimed?
the statistics could have an excel file that have the links with hyperlink function if someone chooses to not create the shortcuts. It maybe could be possible to organize them by chategory, location, function, or connected shrtcuts, if one opens an other.
